3.60". Go to Benchmade's home page search for "581" and they will have the specs for the knife there.Although one of the reviewers has a nice list of the metallurgy content.If you're looking for a smaller knife, check out the mini Barrage or the mini Griptillion.

From my own measuring of my BM 581: If you measure from where the sharpened edge starts, the blade is about 3.5 inches or 8.9 centimeters long. Measuring from where the steel becomes visible from the handle, it's closer to 3.75 inches or 9.7 centimeters.

The blade is 4" long and about7/8" wide at the base. I bought it for my boyfriend he loves it. Uses it everyday for different things around the farm or construction sites

Blade is 19.25 inches, overall length is 35.5 inches. It will hold an edge well, as I have used it to trim palm trees, cane, and other tropical tree/bushes and it has held up very well

Little over 2 inches long on blade. Sheath is not very good. I would buy an aftermarket one.

14 inch refers to blade length, not total length. The blade is actually 14.25" or so. Overall length is a little under 21 inches.

I have seen the blade length listed as 8". I believe the manufactures stated length is 8". Actual length varies depending upon where measurement is taken. Lets call it 8".

12 inch blade, 4 inch handle. About 17 inches overall (including sheath tip). Very nice, good quality.

The blade is 10 inches. The wooden handle is about 5 inches plus. So the metal length is about 15 inches
