Got my first benchmade folder.

Explain suck?

Difficult for me to explain. But it just feels like a cheap $3 knife.

Sell it cheap?

I gave it to my brother.

I'm not a fan of the griptilian cause they blade screw is always coming loose

I haven't had any issues with my Griptilian or Mini. I can say that I hated the stock scales, they felt and look cheap for what you pay for the knife itself. I went ahead and bought some aftermarket G10 and aluminum scales respectively for my Grips and love them. Not sure which of the blades opening methods I like better, the full size has the thumb stud while my mini has what I like to call the Spyderco hole.

I prefer the thumb stud, but I've gotten quite used to my spyderco hole.

Honestly, I like them both and can't decide on one over the other. Really my only gripe has been the cheap plastic scales (although they do keep the knife pretty light weight).

Bought a Benchmade 531 and love it so far. Super light and slim. Works great as a front pocket carry.

I recently got my first Benchmade, a "Contego" folder knife. It was pricy but I freaking LOVE it. Feels great in hand, has good heft (I don't care for light weight knives, no matter the quality) and blade has just enough belly to skin an animal (it has gone through a couple of deer, dove and turkey). Plus their lifetime sharpening deal is awesome.

Contego has been on my radar for a while now. Definitely next on my list.

My lil collection.

I bought a benchmade, spyderco, kershaw and ontario folders to see which one is the best EDC value. Honestly the benchmade is the best but it's the priciest. For value spyderco and ontario are tough to beat. I could have 3 spydercos or 4 ontarios for what the benchmades cost. And I don't think one benchmade is better than 3 or 4 other quality knives.

My favorite that I have now is the hunt series folder. I want the fixed now as well. It's a thought out blade for a hunter imho.

What Benchmade did you buy? Kinda hard to beat the Spyderco for value but I still love the Benchmade more.

Absolutely. I love mine so much. I feel you on the fixed blade. I'm getting this soon.

Mini grip since my knife rides in the same pocket as keys and I sit for work.

I'd agree with your point on value and best.

Got my first benchmade folder.

Finally got me a nice EDC knife. Was looking into a spyder but decided on this one

This is what I carry. It's a large knife but I'm a large man, so it's not in the way much.
