I saw one at a local shop. It's very lightweight and fits very well in it's kydex sheath. The blade is rather on the smallish side, but sharp and I also like the stonewashed finish that Benchmade is applying to their knives now. The model I saw was the plain edge version, GIN-1 steel with the Elishewitz's logo on the right side of the blade. The ergonomics are good and the thermoplastic coating on the handle is textured to give a good grip. I actually considered buying one, but I was turned off by the very small blade, so I bought a Benchmade Ascent II Utility model 831 instead (Same steel as the Tether, larger blade and less price).

el cid,
Is the handle long enough to provide a good, solid grip?

Yes, the handle is long enough to provide an adecuate grip. Since the coating used on the handle leaves a rough surface, there is litte chance of loosing your grip on the knife.
