This is a knife I never see mentioned in forums. After watching several YouTube videos on this knife, I had to have one. Coming in second was the ESEE-4 which I think will be my next knife with a 4.5" blade length, and I think I will get that one in a combo blade. My EDC Spyderco Delica is a combo blade, and I really like it. This knife arrived super sharp. It’s my first Benchmade, and I think it might even be sharper than my Spyderco knives, which are all folders.
Some specs for the knife nerds.
The Nim Cub II 147 is a compact fixed blade that was designed in collaboration with elite airborne military personnel. The Nimravus Nim Cub II has a black finished 154-CM plain drop-point blade with a plain cutting edge. The handle scales are textured Noryl GTX with an EDM finish. A molded MOLLE compatible sheath allows easy carry and accessibility.
That makes the total weight of the knife and sheath 4.3 oz. It also comes with FDE handles and combo blades and another inch of blade length. Any new knives or guns get photographed right out of the box. I can’t help myself. I probably should have used a Ruger in the photo, but the Sig was easier to get to.
Thanks. Both knife and gun are all black. I’ll probably photograph it with some other guns for the heck of it. My only complaint is that the strap on the sheath is too short by a tad bit more than 1/4 inch, so the strap is useless which is why the first photo does not have the strap fastened. The knife does not snap into the sheath, but it does fit quite snug and won’t come out by itself.
I’ve been thinking about getting a Benchmade for quite a while and they have more to offer in fixed blades than Spyderco does. I have a lot of Spyderco folders, but don’t know much about the Benchmade folders.
Benchmade makes great knives . I love the ones I have. I don't know what your price range is but look at Winkler knives. He makes some nice knives for special forces and for seal team six. Handmade ,pricey but I think I will be owning one at some point.
I looked at the Winkler knives page a few weeks ago after someone posted a photo of theirs in one of the forums I participate in. Very nice knives, but way too expensive. I choked over the $124 price I paid for the Benchmade Nim Cub II. I’m thinking of adding one more fixed blade to my collection, and it will probably be the ESEE 4 with a 4 ½ inch blade for around the $124 price range. The Benchmade Nim Cub II is the most expensive knife I own. I own more knives than I use, so I try to keep the new knife purchases to a minimum. I have a lot of Spyderco folders that have only been out of their box to be photographed.
Actually, there are 21 versions of the ESEE 4 ranging in price from $86 to $130. The cheaper ones are without sheath. The one I’m looking at is about $124. See this link.
I found one of these at a Gun Show about 6 months ago. It is a big heavy stainless steel knife 14 1/2 inches long, blade is 9 1/4 inches long, and the blade is a 1/4 inch thick, with a very heavy black quality made thick canvas sheath . And it is in really good shape and looks almost like knew...
It seems like Cold Steel has upped their game lately. I'm really liking the mid-size, and larger folders. A number of models have piqued my interest: 4 Max, Swift, and SR1. The Demko 'tri-ad' lock is amazing, and solid! Picked-up an AD-10 to add to the stable. Big, burly, G10-scaled, and...
I carry a swiss army knife all the time. You never know when you neeed a bottle opener or screw drive etc. However I use their newer lock back design with a 3.8 inch or so blade. Not ideal for self defense but doable and many people see swiss army knives as non threatening. Anyone else on board...
