The Mini Griptilian has a steep price tag, but it’s better than the others by nearly every measure. The distinctive blade-locking system and movable pocket clip make this knife fully ambidextrous.

amazon.com

 I think the Mini-Grip really hits on both of those things. While it leans slightly more towards the "hard use" end of the pool, the Mini-Grip comes close to being a perfectly balanced EDC knife. If you're going to exceed the $50.00 range with one knife, I would recommend that it be this knife

 Super impressed. I guess what I'm saying is that even though fit and finish aren't perfect, you may be perfectly assured they'll make it right if you aren't happy. These people are serious about keeping customers, and I don't doubt this is part of that hefty initial price-tag.  Ease of Maintenance:  Another POTENTIAL problem area

 Put more plainly, it will hold a "utility edge" (can't shave with it but still quite useful) for a really, really long time. Easily a competitor to s30v.  Deployment Method: One-handed ambidextrous. Very old school, field-tested-and-approved thumb studs, both average in size and shape

 I won't wear this knife with suits or khaki pants because it will readily tear them up. Even my cargo shorts and jeans wear noticeably after clipping this knife quite a bit. You can cure this by working the clip and sanding the contact point, but from the factory, beware and guard your pants!  2. Discretion - not great here, either

Fantastic EDC but pocket shredder

 My pinkie is hanging off the back of the thing and so it doesn't really feel like its firmly in my hand. Came very sharp. As Far as the Axis lock goes I have a few knives by a Chinese maker that does it better in my opinion .(yes I know they stole it) Could just be that they fit my hand better

) Nice little knife but I wouldn't buy again as there are too many others at this price point that feel better in the hand and are US made.

…..) Nice little knife but I wouldn't buy again as there are too many others at this price point that feel better in the hand and are US made.

Wanted to love it

  The AXIS lock is very nice, and always feels secure with no movement of the blade. I've had frame and liner locked blades feel like they could move, especially if you opened the blade gently and did not get a firm *click* into place, and this is a very good solution with no drawbacks. I had never used one before this purchase, but it is the most quality locking mechanism I've ever felt and my favorite feature of the knife now.  The overall size is exactly what I wanted

 The grip also feels solid and quality, although some pictures seem "plasticy" in appearance. In my focused attempts at twisting or deforming it did not flex or yield in any way. It looks and feels like a quality piece of functional hardware. No frills or decorations, but strong and useful construction

 I work in an industrial plant and wanted a quality knife that I wouldn't be afraid to use when I need it. I have used it for shaving debris off of rollers, cutting various sized air hoses, plastic tie wraps, small cables, gasket materials, etc..

Great EDC choice

 Sometimes it's smooth sometimes its a bit rough. The blade shape is great, the thumb studs are okay although I prefer holes over studs, as far as studs go they are very functional. My main problem with the knife is the distance between the thumb ramp area on the spine and the finger choil. When I hold the knife I keep wanting to put my index finger on the base of the blade because the finger choil area on the handle is too low on the knife relative to the thumb ramp

It's alright. The materials and quality construction/fit and finish prompt me to give it four stars. If construction wasn't so great and all I had was the design to base my review on I would give it three stars.  The knife came fairly sharp, it shaves hair but can't whittle hair in the air

Solid knife

 My mini grip didn't come super hair shaving sharp out of the box like all my Spyderco knives but it was still better than my kershaw / cold steel knives brand new.  Honestly my only main gripe is how the knife feels in hand. It's not bad, but not comfortable for me. Keep in my mind this is just my opinion

good knife, but in my opinion not that comfortable to hold

 Their warranty is by far the best I've dealt with in a long time, no questions asked regarding my issue. They're also taking care of me and are sending out a free deep carry pocket clip on top of it (something anyone with a benchmade can request, there's a few other sweet models to choose from). With my main problem taken cared of and putting the knife through it's paces over the weekend I can safely say I love the thing already. The axis lock is nice when needing one handed operation

 The response was very fast, something not very common with other vendors, and pleasant at that. While they where taking care of me on their side I was also speaking with benchmade via email.

Updated review: If you get it, get it from NetRush

 I should note that the 2 Sanremu's are the same size as the Benchmade. Being a bigger guy, I need something with a little more heft.  I'm actually very disappointed right now. I really wanted to like the Benchmade, but when it seems like it's of lesser quality (build/tolerance, not blade steel quality) than the other 2, I can't do anything with it, other than return it and buy something else

 I've collected knives for nearly 40 years, and honestly can't believe the lack of quality in this knife. After seeing many posts in blade forums and Facebook groups, it seems that sadly, I'm not alone. Many others I've spoken with have gotten sub-par quality Griptillians. I can understand getting lesser quality when you buy the lower end knives from any manufacturer, but this is just unacceptable

I guess I'll be the first to give this knife a low rating.

Not much I can add to what others have said. Great size, durable and SHARP. The 154CM steel holds an edge for a good long time. Haven't had to try to resharpen yet so I can't say how that will go

Couldn't ask for more.

  The axis lock isn't the strongest out there but I like how you can flick it open like a normal folder or just pull on the release and swing it open.  The one negative that I have with it is the price. Benchmade still uses 154cm on this model which is a decent steel but I feel as if they should offer a higher grade steel in 2016.

I have to say that it is probably the best folding knife locking mechanism out there for ease of ...

 Putting this version over the top, though, is all the red cerakoted hardware. The pivot and the pocket clip both match the backspacer, in this case. Rounding out the high-end versions is the Sprint Ops, which is rocking black and blue G10 handles and a slightly different blade shape. It's still a drop point, but it features a broader tip for more strength when used for piercing

 Like many other knives in Buck's stable, the Sprint Series has two different tiers, Select for the budget-conscious, and Pro for those who want the absolute best performance. The Selects feature lightweight, glass-reinforced nylon handles that are textured and contoured in such a way that it fits very well in the hand, and it has the traction to make sure you maintain full control. They're initially available with a few different colors, black, gray, or green, and each comes with a cerakoted backspacer that provides a nice pop of contrast and color. Rounding out the handle, we get a nice folded pocket clip, and while it isn't truly deep carry, it still maintains a pretty low profile in the pocket

 You'll also see a nice serpentine filework pattern on the spine of the blade, which not only provides a touch of class, it also adds some traction as though it were jimping, and it feels really good behind your thumb. Next up, we have the Sprint Pro with marbled carbon fiber, one of the hottest materials on the market right now, and it features the same filework on the blade. Putting this version over the top, though, is all the red cerakoted hardware. The pivot and the pocket clip both match the backspacer, in this case

 If you step up to the pro models, Buck gives you the same great design and pivot system, but they sweeten the pot with upgraded handle materials and blade steel, getting a nice bump up to satin-finished Boss heat-treated S30V for better edge retention. The first handle option is a nicely textured burlap micarta, and it comes with a yellow cerakoted backspacer.

Buck Knives have a long history filled with great blades, but that doesn’t mean they’re staying put. New materials and designs are bringing Buck into the modern knife era, and the Sprint Series is just one example. Convenient, nimble, and with a variety of blade steels and handle options, there’s sure to be one that speaks to you.

Say the words “Buck knife” and most people will probably envision the classic 110 Folding Hunter, an enduring model that has stood the test of time and is still going strong today. But they aren’t content to rest on their laurels and have been making strides to modernize their products. The recently released 110 and 112 Slim models are a perfect example, but their new Sprint series is even more of a statement from Buck on where they intend to go in the future.

The Sprint family is a new ground-up design of liner-locking flippers, and they mark Buck’s use of a ball-bearing-based pivot system on their production knives. The result is a completely new feel for a “Buck knife.” The detent is not particularly strong, so it does require slightly more finger movement than some to deploy, but I’m actually a fan of the action. It is still plenty quick, it’s very smooth, and it won’t tear up your finger if you like to fidget flip your knives.

Like many other knives in Buck’s stable the Sprint series has two different tiers, Select for the budget conscious and Pro for those who want the absolute best performance.

The Selects feature lightweight Glass Reinforced Nylon handles that are textured and contoured in such a way that it fits very will in the hand and has the traction to make sure you maintain full control. They are initially available with a few different colors - black, gray, or green - and each comes with a Cerakoted backspacer that provides a nice pop of contrasting color. 

Rounding out the handle we get a nice reversible clip, and while it isn’t truly deep-carry, it still maintains a low profile in the pocket.

The drop point blade is just over 3-inches long, made from 420HC using Buck’s famous Bos heat treatment that allows this steel to punch well above its weight class. It features a stonewashed finish, which I am a big fan of on a working knife, that does a great job at hiding scuffs and scratches. With a hollow grind and a nice swedge, the Sprint will be a good all-around performer. 

Overall these materials are put together into one solid design. It is a perfect size for EDC with well thought out ergonomics. The handles index very nicely in the hand and you get the nice integrated finger guard thanks to the flipper design. 

There are also a few cutouts on the spine, both behind the pivot, and on the blade itself that works well for choking up with your index finger, or for getting your thumb behind difficult cuts.

With all of the elements working so well together, the Buck Sprint Select makes a compelling case for itself as one of the best new budget knives to hit our shelves so far in 2019.

If you step up to the Pro models, Buck gives you the same great design and pivot system, but they sweeten the pot with upgraded handle materials and blade steel, getting a nice bump up to Bos heat-treated S30V with a satin finish for better edge retention.

The first handle option is a nicely textured burlap micarta and it comes with a yellow Cerakoted backspacer. You’ll also see a nice serpentine filework pattern on the spine of the blade, which not only provides a touch of class, it also adds traction as though it were jimping.

Putting this version over the top is all the red Cerakoted hardware - the pivot and the pocket clip both match the backspacer in this case.

Rounding out the high-end versions is the Sprint Ops, which is rocking black and blue G10 handles and a slightly different blade shape - it is still a drop point but features a broader tip for more strength when used for thrusting. 

We still get S30V steel but it now sports a black Cerakote finish, which will be hard wearing. The rest of the hardware is coated black as well - by eliminating nearly any surface that might glint in the light, this version will be appreciated by those who prize discretion.

No matter which version you find yourself drawn to, the Buck Sprint series is a well thought out EDC knife that can run the distance, and it’s a nice jog forward from Buck.
