I like the lines of this model but am not sure how is the quality or performance of that style of blade ...

I have heard it described as the best Benchmade knife ever (Along with the Grip, the Rift, the 710 and the Skirmish, but any knife that can be mentioned in the same breath as those is sure-win )

so far what ive heard about most of the H&K blades from benchmade is that theyre all affordable, good-quality knives

It is a great knife. It one of those knives that ""fly under to the radar". Excellent blade shape and ergonomics.

I used to have one, the only thing that made me trade it was it's weight. But that is based on my preferences.

I've had a couple... still have one that I refuse to part with. They are fine knives for some heavier use. Mine have both been very well made, sharp, and have held up well with the use they've gotten. I wouldn't hesitate to take my 14205 out in the woods for a day or a longer period. I usually carry Militaries or Paramilitaries, but sometimes I want a heavier knife with a dependable lock and a very sturdy blade & tip. That's when I take the 14205. I have as much confidence in it's performance as I do in my Spydercos.

I like 154CM steel for it's toughness and ease of resharpening. The blade has good length for a folder, enough belly, and a strong tip. That's what I like in a woods knife.

BTW, the 14210 is excellent for a smaller EDC blade if you like the 14205 but find it a bit large for EDC. There's a mild recurve that I could do without, but since I use a Sharpmaker w/ U/F rods, it's no problem to deal with the recurve.

Just got mine about a month ago and I can't put it down. For $109 you get a thick 154CM blade, Axis lock, and solid G-10. Plus it is smooth as oiled glass. By far one of the best Benchmades I have handled.

And maybe this might help too. That's me, Jay2.0http://www.kniferating.com/listing.php?listurl=Heckler-and-Koch-14205-Snody-Axis
