The CBTs help stiffen the blade without adding too much extra weight. The blade with CBTs is stiffer than a blade of the same weight that does not have them & is just slightly thicker.
Think of how an I beam is built, with the top and bottom there to provide stiffness.
hmmmm, cool.
jerry sure does know how to make a good knife!
