Benchmade Nimravus vs TOPS Knives Hornero Fixed Blade Knife Tan/Black

It's still a great knife, and I like the new MOLLE sheath, but I prefer the micarta handles over the new aluminum ones. My only real gripe is with the finger groove behind the ricasso is noticibly deeper than on the original, and makes for a weaker feel. That, and the handles aren't interchangeable because of the difference. Otherwise, it's another fine Benchmade product, razor sharp right out of the box

The idea was to create something ready to do a nearly-comprehensive list of indoor and outdoor tasks, short of heavy duty chopping and the like; the Hornero can snip, slice, whittle, gouge, and more. No surprises with the blade steel here: 1095 carbon graced with a black powder coating. Reynoso’s aim in creating the Hornero was to marry a compact blade with a full-sized handle. By bringing the blade length down as far as possible without sacrificing his knife’s capabilities, he made room for a generous handle that doesn’t impact the knife’s carryability
