Just for fun...

Thanks for the votes guys.

I see the Griptillian got 8 votes. I still don't understand why this knife has such a big following. I was hugely disappointed with it. Maybe it was just me.

I actually agree with you a bit on this one.  I have one and it's my only Benchmade knife and it came dull and
with no bevel which was a big disappointment.  I had to wait until I purchased a Lansky to fix it up.  I new
from reading from other posters that the handle was big, thick, and plastic feeling but to me it's all added up
to a somewhat uninspiring knife. It does open smoothly and locks up solid but that's the other thing I don't
really see what all the fuss is about ... the access lock.  It's a lock. 
I'll use it for trading fodder at some point I imagine.

What I dislike the most about it is the empty spaces, dropped my mini in the snow and had to put it on heater to melt and evaporate all the snow inside. That plus the non-stainless spring is not good in my book.

I got mine based on the reviews of the huge fan base that it has. On every forum guys sing the praise of the Gripitilian.  So I was really excited to get one and it was a big letdown when it came. Big plastic hollow handles that make for a loud sound when closing it. I stupidly got a minigriptillian thinking it would be better. The handles were less hollow but I still didn't care for it. I sold that one away. I would sell my full size but one night I got fed up with the hollow handles and took the darn thing apart and filled them with epoxy.

I like my mini-grip with D2 blade that I got several years ago from Cabela's, and it's served me pretty well. The axis locks are solid, but admittedly they do have a gap where stuff could get in, though I haven't had an issue with that.

Part of what I like about it is what some of you guys don't, that it's a fairly light knife. It also has a thin blade which makes it a good slicer for most of what I do and the D2 maintains a decent edge, it's also an easy opening knife one handed. It's not a perfect knife, but I like it. I mean, to be honest, I'm still searching for that perfect knife, perfect multi-tool, perfect flashlight, etc, etc, etc. LOL!

Any more votes?

I vote that you'll not make the right choice based on the poll. 



Go Rajah!

That would mean going with Mikes idea though and since when do I do that?
