Best EDC Knife in town
I vacillated between buying this knife and something a bit more wallet friendly. I ended up using my 20% off code and dividend to pull the trigger on this knife... And boy am I glad I did! It is the perfect size and weight for EDC. It is VERY well made. VERY sharp. VERY easy to deploy. Just an all around knockout of a knife. The best one I've ever owned. The ONLY possible ding on this knife is the clip doesn't allow for "deep" carry, but it has a small enough profile it doesn't protrude much past the pants/pockets/carry site. 5 stars. Would definitely buy again, but it's made well enough I won't have to.
Perfect EDC Knife
I've carried this knife almost every day for 16 years now. It's still in great shape and while most of the paint has worn off from the clip, it does not show it's age. As a lefty, I appreciate how easy it is to move the clip to the other side and use all of the functionality of the lock so easily with either hand. Over the years, I've probably given five of these as gifts because they're such great knives.
Freaking love it, 16 years later
A very good family friend gave me a purple benchmade mini griptilian when I graduated college in 2006. I have used it as an almost-daily pocket knife when I have been in the woods for work and play ever since. I'm a field biologist, so I'm in the wild a lot, from boats to forest. My husband and dad are both knife guys, so I've used a variety of pocket knives, but this is the tops. I'm a woman with smallish hands and it's perfect. The folding mechanism is the easiest to close one-handed, I love that I can pull it out, cut some rope while I'm on a boat, then close it on my thigh and put away in a smooth motion. I have used the regular griptilian, but it's a bit big for my hand - the mini is perfect. I love it so much I kind of want to buy a second one, but the first is still in such good condition that I don't have to.
Great everyday and hiking knife
Perfect size. Smooth, easy to use action and locking mechanism. Great knife!
Fantastic Knife
This knife is great for everyday carry. It is a great tool. Perfect size. Can’t ask for more.
Awesome EDC Knife
Great Knife, 1st Benchmade I have ever had. I’ve always owned Spyderco knives prior to this and I must say I don’t think I’ll ever go back after having this one.
Excellent knife!
Excellent knife. Extremely smooth operation. Very nice blade. Also very light to carry.
Best Knife I've Ever Owned
There is nothing about this knife that isn't great!
Good size pocket knife
I like the knife, it’s a good size pocket knife not to big bit to small and I know it’s a good steel from a good name but I gave it 4 stars because it does feel a little cheap, I wasn’t overly excited to hold it but I will say it grew on me.
