what is the difference between this knife and the classic nakiri-quite a price difference!

No difference. This is my go to knife in my collection. Good heft and has good grip. My money is on this one. ..

I believe my purchasing decission was based on need and set style.. but yes, prices vary significantly based on the set.

I think that the main difference is that the blade is stamped instead of forged.

I am an owner, not a merchant. I have the first version which is green and the latest model is blue. I've examined the blue version and cannot find a significant difference between the two, other than cosmetic. I've been using mine a few years and it works great, assuming it is set up correctly with a good blade. The current price shown in the Amazon add is about $100 more than I paid but, that was a few years ago and I didn't get free shipping so, you might want to look at all costs involved.

So sorry, you may have to look that up on the I-Net. My son in law said that it was one excellent knife. He was always breaking his pocket knives, so I purchased this one. I have a knife like that around here somewhere. It is a very good knife I can not believe I purchased one for so little. It is much heaver than a pocket knife but, it is small enough to fit in your pocket. Remember you may always send it back. Amazon is good that way.

I think the image shown is the version with the shortest blade. I have the version with the longest blade (almost twice as long) so it does not look like a Kukri knife.

I bought one from them, it shipped fast and didnt have any problems with it. Good knife but if i had to buy another one it woukd be the one without the double ...opener flick things at the bottom of the blade. Its too wide and scratches your hand when you put it in your pocket.

knife is very thick handled. Blade is much shorter compared to handle. the CRKT Drifter is a better knife. you do lose the fast opening but it does open fine with the thumb.

I have a Black Blur and a Red Blur. Both are indeed Sandvik 14C28N blade steel. Kershaw also makes this knife (and others) in CPM S30V, an even higher grade steel; that is it holds edge longer and is more corrosion resistant. But have no fear with this Sandvik steel. My experience with it on the Blur and on other USA-made Kershaws--whether coated with DLC or not--continues to be very satisfying. Sandvik or S30V? Add the cost issue and decide. With this knife, as I said, I have two w/ Sandvik 14C28N and am very happy. I would be with one (or 2) w/ S30V.

in real life non-knife expert terms, this is a fixed blade knife with a cool sheath and a blade made from a stainless metal that stays sharp and is highly rust inhibitive. why would anyone want a sharp knife that doesnt rust that has a high carry sheath? the only reason that i dont have one is that it is nearly $200 and it is hard to knock the benchmade steep country from its place on my hip.

There is a stainless steel version of this knife and there is (the original) carbon steel version of this knife. The different number might indicate the difference between the two types of steel available.

I difer to the previous two response I just went back on GP{ Knives and they too have chnaged the steel type to 5160. So it probably depends on how old the knife is. It looks like if you buy one now you get 5160.

I had both but kept only the Rat1. It is a great knife without even considering the price. The tenacious is not as tough and not as comfortable.

You'll never need to replace this blade. If you need to sharpen it you can remove the high quality Japanese made blade and get it professionally sharpened or do it yourself. Essentially you are buying the blade with this product. Quality Japanese kitchen knives of this length can easily run from $50-$100. I consider this a bargain because it can save you hours of time and time is money. Cheers

Don't know, but guessing same knife, but different packaging. Both do get abt the same ratings.

this one will get patches of black rust specs as it is very high carbon, but only if used outside very often. The sheath on this one is far better, the cutting capability is far better, the look and feel will be better, this kukri is one centimeter thick and razor sharp, the other is a millimeter thin and dull, it's over all worth spending the money.

Try CRKT web site...there are several different models/versions and sizes of this knife...compare specs, blade length and overall length. Its the only way to be sure of the differences between models. Another suggestion is to google the different model numbers and compare specs. Hope this helps

What's your question? Don't know what Ron's "passing" has to do with the quality of the knife? The Buck is cheaper but I still like the feel of the Thug. Just my preference. Hope this helps in your purchase.

NO..Go With Buck, I did some research just the design of blade is pat here in usa..." Which is printed on the blade" Seems like a sneaky sales.. Good knife! All though I Believe its made out of chinese steel....I own a few of these knives, However I do believe the older models are made here, Do some googlin!
