    Comments about Benchmade 556S-1201 Mini-Griptilian Knife - Crimson:

    This should be the standard for all small everyday carry knives. So lightweight that you can barely tell that it's clipped onto your pocket. The AXIS lock is smooth and secure. This is my 4th Griptilian (all still performing flawlessly). Well built with durable materials. Some may say that the handle is a little thick, but I prefer it to thinner handles since it provides a more comfortable and secure grip. The red handle is very easy to spot if you put it down. Only gripe is that it only comes in ComboEdge, but I've found that it provides enough usuable plain edge for light duties. S30V steel also gives it nice edge retention.
