Benchmade Nim Cub II knife: 3.5 Ounce Combat Knife

The little Benchmade Nimravus Cub II (LIte) is impressive. The entire loadout weight on this diminutive blade is just 5.4 oz. The blade itself is only 3.5 ounces! Nevertheless the BM Nim Cub II gives us a perfectly sized 3.5 inch 154CM stainless blade that holds much utility and maybe a little tactical capability as well. The sharp jimping, deep fingerguard, and perfect balance help to solidly lock the Nim Cub in hand. The sheath is a homerun: super light, nylon so as not to absorb water (but still quiet), drain hole, easily MOLLE attachable, and it has heavy duty SNAPPED retention strap. About the only downside I can detect is the high price (lower value) of the blade. But that's life when buying the US Made the Benchmade "Blue Line." The company says this knife was designed in collaboration with airborne military personnel. If that's the case, then their consultants got it right and wisely chose the features and sizing of this fixed blade. I think it will excel at the both deployment and outdoor cutting tasks. Accordingly, the little Nim Cub II will enter several of my BEST knife playlists due to its superb balance, lightweight, excellent sheath, and quality. I would choose this knife over the Rat Cutlery RC4 for these attributes (and it's cheaper and stainless). Soldiers and backpackers alike will love the portability and high utility of the Nim Cub II. I sure do. ///////////// Nutnfancy Likeability Scale: 9 of 10

Im going to edc this bitch

[solidsnakemanful]

That is an awesome knife.

So as a U.S. citizen i have no right to use a knife like this? You keep saying soliders and others over seas

[theswordsman09]

@nutnfancy can you do a review of the helle viking i kinda want to see what you make of it

[mintyvision]

@immikeurnot a civilian sheepdog is a person who places themselves in unnecessary danger and gets in the way of professional emergency services and law enforcement thinking they are of some use despite their lack of training or understanding of the law. anyone who attempts to enforce rules and regulations over other citizens despite an absolute lack of official or authorised authority is a threat to the democratic process and the freedom and safety of others and probably themselves too.

Man, that is a well thought out blade. I love the light weight, the sheath, the grip, and the aggressive (= hand-protective) choil design.

If one's mode of dress, situation and local legalities are consistent with carrying a 3.5" fixed blade with a "tactical" aspect, then this seems like a great way to go.
