Benchmade 921 Switchback

This knife doesn't just look good, it feels very right in the hand too.

Smooth action, blade that stays sharp long and comfortable grip makes this a knife I use a lot, although admittedly mostly indoors (since here metal handles are too cold for outdoors use much of the year).

I like it when design also improves function, like in this case. But I still haven't found a use for the smaller blade.
