Ergonomic soft rubber handle, for sure grip.
Double-hilt thumb tab with hole on the handle allows you to hook it to a lanyard or safety line.
The blade is made from special, tempered stainless steel. One side has a smooth edge and the other is partly serrated, complete witha line cutter.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Lama Knife:
Covered in silicon grease, and otherwise properly maintained, this knife will rusts while you wait. The edges will go first. That's not such a problem, as you can actually get to those, but the steel parts between the two parts of the handle you cannot get to (nor can you really properly protect the bolt). I've gone through 3 knives in the last 2 years - will never again buy this one.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Lama Knife:
Not a bad knife for an OK price. There are better knives out there, but this is good. I bought this because the holster is designed to fit Cressi BCD's (I own one), and this one did beautifully. It sits right at the top of your left pocket, handle outwards, so it's always in easy reach.
It has a good grip and is small enough to not get in your way but big enough to use. Has a smooth edge, serrated edge, line cutter and pointed tip.
My only con is the latching action on the holster; it feels a bit clumsy/cheap compared to higher end knives. But for the price, it's certainly good, and should last. It comes with a warranty.
Also, it is steel, but that isn't a problem; just give it a good rinse after every dive (including the holster) and apply silicone grease every now and then.
