I love Benchmade's Activator knives. I have both the smaller 210 and the larger 201+. The 201+ has become my go-to outdoors blade and favorite fixed blade. It's a strong stout blade, but cuts like a much thinner blade and has a great shape for outdoor work. It's a great size as well, big enough to be useful, but small enough to be easily carried (most of the time I don't even notice it on my side). I love the handle shape too, simple, but very comfortable and positive. I've thinking of having a kydex sheath made for it, like the 210TK, to allow me more carry options. smile
