First Impressions on my Benchmade 210TK

[SHADOW84]

Just recieved this little blade in the mail today from a fellow forum member, and my first impressions of this blade is that its alot smaller than what I had thought it was going to be.. The craftsmanship of the blade is very nice and compact making it very easy to carry.. The blade is from the SNODY series line of Benchmades and this is a blue class knife and I believe to my knowledge it has been discontinued.. The top of the blade has very nice Jimping on the top allowing for a secure hold when useing the knife.. Blade material is S30V, I believe the outdoors variation of this blade comes in D2.. The knife's scales are Silver G10 and Carbon Fiber giving it a very cutting edge and durable look.. The blade comes with two sheaths one being a Kydex Sheath and the other a leather Sheath, I have been wearing it around the house so far the blades retention inside the Kydex Sheath is very good... blade length is 2.1 inches while the blade thickness .14 inches. Someone correct me if I am wrong but from what I have gathered about this little blade is that the hardness is 58-60 HRC. Blade Style is a Drop Point Blade Shape. Making it excellent for hunting purposes, skinning fish... over all legth is 5 1/2 inches... I will update this review upon further use and evaluation of the blade and look forward to carrying it.. I highly recommed owning a blade This size in a fixed blade category while quite small I feel that it is going to be a very useful size blade...

I am in the process of selling and/or giving away most of my knives.

The Snody 210TK was, by far, the most coveted of all the knives I had, fixed or folder. Everybody, I mean everybody, likes that knife. It is a great little blade.
Very few production S30V blades get polished, this is one of them. The handle is really comfy and good looking. The jimping is the best I've ever seen on a BM.

I gave it to a friend who will show it more love, and use, than I did.

Congrats on yours.

Never understoood why those aren't more popular on the forum.

Seems every other week someone asks about a small EDC fixed blade.

Agreed, these little blades are greatly under rated IMO, I guess so many people always think the bigger a blade the better.. I have found this little knife so far to be the perfect balance for Everyday task and general purpose use.. I plan on taking it with me to the lake in the next week fishing with me and well will see how it performs skinnin and preping fish..
