Radomvis,
Yup, its the same width as the BK7, it has a 5.5" blade lenght, as opposed to the 7" BK7, and it weighs 12 oz. I don't have the OAL handy, but its 1.5" shorter than the BK7
The 0170-6c steel used is carbon steel, and yup, it will rust. Experience shows that it usually doesn't pit very easily, and will be fine with minimal care. It is, of course, coated with expoxy powdercoat. 0170-6c is a tough, aggressive cutting carbon steel, especially suited to the role of a combat/survival knife.
I plan on putting one in the trunk of my car along with my BOB
