Jordache?

 

[ArmedCorgi]

I'm guessing Wrangler or LEE.

 

[Doc8404]

Nice knife.
You're all gay.

 

[Podmonkey]

Wrangler

No use for a serrated edge, PITA to sharpen.

Nice. What's different beside the scales?

Nice. What's different beside the scales?

Blade steel. 20CV vs 154CM.
I got it off of the Benchmade customizer feature on their site. You can specify the blade steel, black or satin blade, handle material, texture and color. I thought tan scales with a satin blade would look slick and I think I was right. Its easy to see why the Mini Grip is one of there most popular models when you hold one. I'm watching TV and playing with it now.

Don't put your eye out.

What did that set you back? If you don't mind me asking.

A lot. $210 shipped. But I've always wanted a Mini Grip however the plastic handles made me hesitate. Then the 555-1 came out, but the gray G10 seemed a little drab, though the blue liners and standoffs are sharp. Then I learned about the custom option BM has and I had no more excuses so I went for it.

All depends on what you use the knife for. I myself like a fine, sharp tip for inserting into tight places and for stabbing into blister packaging.

I use mine while camping to cut cheese and pepperoni when I'm sitting next to the fire swilling a cold beer.

EDC = Eating, Drinking, Cheese. I always wondered what that meant.

Aw that's an adorable little knife. Were the girl scouts giving out free knives with a purchase of two or more box of cookies?

Yes, a far better use for a knife than opening plastic packages and cutting trailer seals for sure.

It is an adorable little knife innit?
But then I don't feel a need to compensate for things with large blades like some others might

Hey, as long as you're comfortable with it, that's fine. Not everyone has large knives. I should apologize though, don't let anyone tell you, your blade is too small. Being proud of a small blade shows confidence.

Nice knife. I love my Griptillian. Use it all the time.

My fingers are now covered with little nicks and cuts. It came with the sharpest factory edge I've ever seen!

1st Rule of Knife Club: Never slide fingers against sharpened blade of knife.
2nd Rule of Knife Club: Read FIRST RULE AGAIN!

 

[capitalcrew]

Fuuuuuuuuuck that's nice. Damn it. I'm going to end up with another knife.

 

[Bananabandit]

Thats mighty pricey! I like your shifter, though.
