Review: Benchmade puts out great products, and without a doubt the Mini Grip ... - Knife guys know that the Griptilian, or its baby brother the Mini Grip, is considered by many to be the standard bearer when it comes to an EDC knife. Benchmade puts out great products, and without a doubt the Mini Grip can be considered along them. The blade comes very sharp, and holds an edge well. When it is resharpening time, it is very easy to put a nice, clean edge on it. It steel is very rust resistant. As ever, the Axis lock is strong. I can't imagine a stronger lockup, or one that is easier to use. As with every Griptilian that I have bought, however, I did need to back the pivot screw off just a bit so that I could grip the lock and flip it open and shut. I always do this to the absolute minimum necissary, then I oil it and flip it a bunch of times to get things running smooth. As it comes from the factory there is no blade play. If you back off the pivot screw, like I did, you may introduce a bit of play. If this bothers you, you may have to sacrifice the ability to flick it open while pulling the Axis lock after you tighten the pivot up again. This is no problem, as the thumb studs are tactile and make deployment easy. The handle is a reinforced nylon like material. So people complain that this makes it feel cheap, but I don't really agree. Anybody who picks this thing up and uses it a bit is going to know it is an exceptional knife. There is gimping on the sides and outer edges to give you a solid grip. My only complaint is the gimping on the sides is very agressive, and I worry about it shredding my pockets. I wish they would put a flat spot under the clip similar to what Spyderco does on the Delica. So if this is such a great knife, is it in my pocket everyday? No, it is not. I prefer my Benchmade 940. The Griptilian is a rugged knife that you can beat on, but part of why I carry a knife that costs the better part of $200 is that special feeling you get when you pull it out of your pocket. However, if I couldn't carry the 940, the Griptilian, or its baby brother the Mini Grip, would be a strong contender for my pocket real estate.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: where is this knife made ?**
A: Most recent one is Taiwan. It says so on the knife.

**Q: How good is this knife for self defense?**
A: Great knife. Excellent utility, lightweight and durable.  Fantastic grip... However, asking this question,  I'd advise you to help yourself and seek training rather than ask the internet.

**Q: Is this knife legal in Seattle, WA?**
A: Yes it is.

**Q: What oil should i use for the pivot?**
A: Benchmade makes an oil. Otherwise you can use pretty much any lubricating oil you would like. Also if it is getting stiff, make sure the torque that holds the blade has not over tightened.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BEST EDC!
*by C***5 on November 28, 2015*

I have been researching around this size of knife for a EDC. I always have a knife on my hip no matter where I am. When looking for a new knife I usually go for the lowest price and best reviews, however my friend an I both love benchmade products. So we were both wondering about spending the $155 to get a fully customized Griptilian. I didn't want to spend that much so I purchased this model on Amazon. If you customize a knife at benchmade.com you can choose different types of steel. This model on amazon has the cheapest option of steel. I ordered the clean blade no serrations mainly because in the past serrations have gotten in the way and while they have some use the saw on my leatherman does the job even better. Out of the box this knife is sharp enough to shave with. There is no blade play at all and the blade is still perfectly centered between the handles after two weeks of heavy use. The axis lock is one of the strongest locking systems I have come across. Ive had my fare share of liner locks fail on me and this does not seem it will ever break. While the handles seem flimsy and plastic they are actually very high strength and if i understand correctly should be very heat resistive and not very electrically conductive. The pocket clip is reversible which for my friend (who also ordered the knife but with a sheepsfoot blade) who is left handed. The liner on this knife is only partial, it goes down the back of the handle in order to attach the screws but does not line the entire inside of the knife. The grips on the handle of the knife are surprisingly comfortable and provide the greatest grip for your thumb. This knife does come with a lanyard hole I will be making a little paracord grip to pull it out of my cargo shorts pocket easier. The knife sits low in the pocket which is good because it doesn't attract too much attention. This is by far one of the best knifes and Im 100 percent sure I will be carrying this for a long time.
