Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The s30v blade delivers. The warranty has lifetime service including re-sharpening. The mini-griptilian e is the perfect size and quality.

For the best in drop shut / free swingness of the blade a fraction of a blast of wd-40 into the pivot. Oh and maybe relax the pivot screw a degree or two counter clockwise. Snappy open/close with smooth action.

Small, lightweight and sharp. Light-weight, small enough to carry around, and stylish. Perfect size to fit in my purse.

This knife is amazing. Highly recommended. Love it.

The knife, because of the full steel handle liners, has a bit of heft to it. Handle is ergonomic; perfect weight and balance. I feel this is very grippy and i feel comfortable taking this out in front of people and they will not overreact.

Cons

The mini griptilian is far too small for my taste. Plastic is hard and annoying. Liner was warped. It won't get a tenth as sharp as the cheapest kershaw i have.

First, cheers for amazon’s return policy. Sent back for refund 5 minutes after opening.

All the other $50 knives i have used and they all performed and lasted much better/longer than this knife. What the heck is the big deal?

Quality

The quality does put the knife at a higher cost, but after owning the knife, i believe its worth the cost.

I'm very impressed with the quality and craftsmanship of benchmade knives, so much to the point where i also bought a bugout.

I could have returned to factory for some help but the biggest reason i returned it is that the knife is like an inch too small... Read More

I purchased this knife because i was intrigued by the quality of the knife.

Price

The price is a tad higher than i wanted to spend for a knife, but you pay for quality!

Packaging/appearance

I’ve always heard that the mini griptilian was a good entry into expensive knives.

Competitiveness

I have carried a benchmade mini-grip for over 10 years.

Look no further than benchmade, they stand behind their product like an american manufacturer should!

I didnt like the bug out, nor my spyerdcos, a few of my kershaw's, zero tolerance knives are ok.

These are not cheap products but you get what you pay for…
