Whichever one fits your hand the best.

If you're a man you will pick pink. >=(

Though orange is almost as pretty. :angel:

you really need to hold them Ryan! some people's hands are too big for the mini,...but you do have knife laws where you live so the mini might be better for you.

...but I say Orange-Full! :tu:

Better get some torx driver while you are at it and tighten the pivot, the few benchmade I've seen can all be opened with wrist flick (without touching the blade), and very smooth at that.

I kinda thought you'd go for the pink myself. :D  In truth though you'd need a reason to carry either one, so why not have the bigger one I say. :cheers:

I almost bought those shoes last saturday! Found them in a shop and tried them. I loved them!  :drool: But in the end, I couldn't afford them... they were reduced in price, but I just couldn't spend 70 EUR on a pair of shoes like that. There are other things on the list that I need more at the moment  :ahhh

I will get a pair next spring.

Congrats on your great souvenir! I love orange!

Love the Grip Ryan - very nice :cheers:

I totally agree Mike. A mingrip would be very high on my list of ideal knives  :(

It's lovely Ryan  :tu:
