The Benchmade 470 Emissary features a 3 inch blade of S30V steel, partial flat grind, drop point, Axis Lock mechanism, assisted opening, and aluminum handle. Weight is 2.2 ounces. I give this knife A+ on deployment, weight, and initial sharpness, this is pretty much top of the line for non-custom smaller EDC blades. Price was $128 on sale. Regular price is around $170.

In 2014, Benchmade introduced the larger version of this blade, for a review of the Benchmade 477 Large Model Emissary, click here: http://youtu.be/vJFMpnIGlv4
