Purchasing will always depend on you specific needs and wants, but this is my go to little knife that can do more than it should. I prefer this version to the G-10, most do not. I feel this is very grippy and I feel comfortable taking this out in front of people and they will not overreact, this this looks and feels like a tool. I have bought like 4 of these and have given them as gifts to friends and family. I also like that if you wanna upgrade you easily buy after market scales, but I like the classic look cause it’s a tool. I highly recommend this knife especially if you are gonna beat it up, then throw it in your pocket and can forget it is there. People have complained about Benchmade’s quality control, but I feel that the griot Iliana is one that almost always comes out well made, because of its simple construction. This is not a high end knife, but again if you are looking for a small and strong knife, light weight, and reliable...get it. Review: Most Pleasing-Ergonomic- Fun-To-Use smaller Knife On This Planet. Six Stars For Lock & Ergonomics - Four stars for light-weight but that is not a negative at all. The knife, because of the full steel handle liners, has a bit of heft to it. This translates to feeling like a Quality-Tool and is by no means too heavy; this is a pretty "small" knife. That about covers it ! Buy this NOW before they forget how to make them ! (you think I'm kidding). For the best in drop shut / free swingness of the blade a fraction of a blast of WD-40 into the pivot. They use grease from the factory so the pivot does not swing too fast closed for newbies and some nonsense about "gravity knives" at the Canadian border. Oh and maybe relax the pivot screw a degree or two counter clockwise. Don't believe the clap-trap about WD-40 not being a lubricant (says right on the can that it "lubricates : . . ."). Trust me; I am a professional : ) I've also used thin instrument oils to thin the grease on many other Benchmades with limited effect. WD Now ! Do it NOW ! I love this knife so much for daily carry. I was sitting around the house on a day off and it struck me that if I lost the Mini Griptillian I have and they quit making them, as they have so many other knives that I really, really like (Benchmade blue&black WM 710 M390-blade) I would be lost with out this Mini. I made sure they were still available and immediately ordered another one. For back up. aaaaaahhhhhh crisis averted. I could rave for pages about how great this knife is compared to all those too smooth and or flat sided wannabe knives. Just buy one and it will sell its self. ## Features - HIGH-QUALITY: The CPM-S30V stainless steel blade is extremely well-balanced, offering superb edge qualities and rust resistance.
