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. 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)

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 ...

 It has the full flat grind from Spyderco. They do a really great job in having the taller blade here with that full flat grind. The geometry is really good. I actually have kind of dulled this thing down

 You know, and this one being the Sage five, the deployment type that they're really unlocking interfaces, the compression lock that they're they're really highlighting. But I just I can't imagine them not producing possibly 10,000 more of these. It is such a good knife. And again, when when metal complex comes out with something saying that this is the very best of something, it's going to sell out

 I'll go ahead and intercut some things that I cut with it. We're going to do the Spyderco Sage V now. The Sage V, it slices. The Sage V has made it through a lot

 I mean, you can just really, really tough to find any cons. In fact, if there's anything I'll say about the cons of this knife, it's that it's not available enough. I know there's supply chain issues going along going on around the world. And I'm hoping to goodness that this thing that they come out with more of these because I know the Sage series, sometimes they'll just do it as their homage series for various deployment types

Spyderco Sage 5 Lightweight Snap Review...Was Metal Complex Right?

 It's not like a thin veneer on a cheap piece of furniture... It's very substantial and solid and I love the way its beveled a bit onto the G10 so your hand doesn't have a sharp edge there

Perfect EDC after a couple little adjustments

 So we can see here that size-wise, we're actually very similar. In terms of overall blade length, as well as sharp in blade length, we are very, very similar to the Delica. In terms of hand size, I'm sorry, handle size, that is, we can see here that they are actually quite similar as well in the pocket. They are very, very similar knives in a lot of ways

 They still sent it along. We do have to assume this is the best quality controlled one of these guys ever, and I'm doing my best to let this affect the nature and substance of my review. But nevertheless, there we go. Next thing, let's do a size comparison here

 It's also more carryable, being really, really super thin. This guy is really thin relative to the Sage, and it's also about the same blade length, and it's got a lower price, so that makes it pretty compelling. The original Para 3 is a very nice knife for maybe durability, for harder use, those kinds of things. Not that we're hard to use in any of this, but still, that's definitely an option, and it's only $10 more

 And so this guy is lighter. It's also more ergonomic to me. I like the Sage lineup a lot, but the Para 3 lightweight is just better in my hand than the Sage here. That's, of course, personal, but that's something that I feel quite strongly

The Spyderco Sage 5 Lightweight: The Full Nick Shabazz Review

 And we'll have some fun. Now this is one I've had interest in for quite some time. So it is a 4 finger knife, now is this a little smaller than I typically carry, yeah I mean would I like to have a Sage V that's a little bit bigger, yeah but I think there's other options for that with Spyderco, oh I don't know it's called the Manix II and of course they are different because the Manix II is a different lock and all that stuff so it would still be cool if there was a larger one of these, but here's the thing, so you got 4 fingers back here, when you choke up into that grip now you got plenty of room left over, you got this great pinch grip that it turns into because you've got, I mean you could just use the knife like this if you wanted to, but it's super cool, you can come up here if you want, either like this or like this and it's really cool, by the way you got Sal's maker mark there, Sal from Spyderco, very very cool, just a great knife, it's nice and thin in the pocket, it's got a typical Spyderco look to it as far as sort of the ovalness of it, but it goes into the pocket like so and you know you can get your hand down in there no problem, nothing going to catch you or any issues like that, by the way I said that was a lanyard post, it's not, it's the lanyard tube, I don't know why I said that, I know what it is, it's a lanyard tube, and by the way you could always put lynch clips on these if you don't like the wire clip, but if you don't like the wire clip you're just wrong, no I'm just kidding, the reason I like the wire clips is ergonomically, they feel good in the hand and they're just a great utilitarian clip, which is what a clip is for in my opinion, it's just for use, but really really great, everything is knocked down and chamfered really well, feels good, guys this is something a lot of you know, I do not have a pair of three and I could never get the pair of three lightweight centered, this is centered and I think it has a lot to do with the construction due to having liners rather than no liners or very partial liners on the pair of three, this is just a better constructed knife in my opinion, and I would take this over the pair of three any day, I don't have a PM2 any longer, I will get one of those back in the collection at some point I miss it, I just needed to sell some stuff, but you know size wise this feels great, I mean it is, it's just a good knife, you got plenty of blade because they don't waste space and it is just great, it is a cutter guys, I have used this quite a bit since I've had it and it is a cutter, they are thin because you got this full flat grind here, so well done and you just get great control with the knife, I've cut some rope, I've cut some cardboard and paper, I haven't done a lot with it yet, but I guarantee I will be using this, this is great for work for me because I like to carry small lightweight stuff, a lot of times if I'm doing the TV work I do, it's just way, oh man, that's twice in a row, what in the world, okay, and it's just easier to carry and to hide away and not scare anybody if you bring it out if you know what I mean, so really cool, let's talk about lock up, no blade play, no lock rock, solid as a rock despite the fact that it's so lightweight, which we'll talk about that in a minute, am I still recording, it like froze for a second, so if you guys wonder what that was about, it was because my phone froze, lock up is great, you can see, I don't know how to judge it on this, but I call it like a 40 there, really, really nicely done, I really like this knife, now let's put it here and move the box, and let's do a comparison with the native five, which you guys know I dig, it's a little, well, yeah, a little bit bigger in the handle, a little bit bigger than the blade, than the native five, let's do, well no, I was right the first time, and you know, native five is a lock back, and then you got the the Mannix two, which is your ball bearing lock, very, very cool, and you see that, and then we'll just stick these in here, here's your rat two, it's roughly the same length as the rat two, and then your rat one, of course, is going to be a lot bigger than the sage five, as you can see there, so really cool knife, and again, you can see guys the Spydercos that I'm really trending towards, I love Spyderco, and this is what I'm trending towards right here, I want a native chief, I do eventually want a shaman, and a capara, and a smock, but right now, these are the ones that I'm really loving to use and carry, just phenomenal, and you got three different lock types here, how cool is that, so again, there you go, that is, oh wait, I didn't give specs, that's great, hold on, that would help to actually do the specs, and my computer went to sleep, so that is always great, all right, so these are Abbleu Creek knives as we speak, for $141.99, so $142, which is a great price on this, and you can get 10% off using my link down in the description, it is 7

 So it is a 4 finger knife, now is this a little smaller than I typically carry, yeah I mean would I like to have a Sage V that's a little bit bigger, yeah but I think there's other options for that with Spyderco, oh I don't know it's called the Manix II and of course they are different because the Manix II is a different lock and all that stuff so it would still be cool if there was a larger one
