I have a brand new Benchmade mini Griptillian. Very light, very sharp. So far I like it.

It's lightweight, flat, easy to carry, holds a very nice edge, and has cut, hacked or sawn open thousands of things over the years. I got it on sale somewhere, and it's probably the best $35 I ever spent.

I have/carry the same. Great little knife.

Since most are doing a show and tell, this is the one that I've been EDC'ing for the past two (2) years now.

Rob, what makes you say that about the blade shape? I've been considering the 553 for the tanto profile but was just curious as to what you've experienced with that profile to say this.

And Fringe, dude...I hate you, well more-so my wallet hates you with a passion lol. I've liked the Grips, but always hated the handles. And now you show me some G10 handled Grips?! *sigh*

My EDC - just a WalMart special Gerber Para-Frame that couldn't cut butter anymore.

I have been carrying this knife, a Micro Tech UDT, at work for twelve years and it has been a good one. I had to send it back a couple of years ago to have the spring replaced in it other than that it has served it's purpose. It got most of it's use during my criminal interdiction and K9 handler years. It has been a good one as I have misplaced it several times and it has always seemed to reappear.
