Ratings and Reviews
Awesome
Outstanding quality.
Solid Knife
This is an exceptional knife. It feels solid in the hand, there is a good weight to the knife. I was surprised, but also happy that the g10 scales are darker than what it appears on the screen. Benchmade often has criticisms of manufacturer QC issues, but in the knife I got there was no blade play, the blade was centered, and the grind was good (and very sharp). I chose the… read more knife because I was looking for a smaller edc that will fit in my pocket, and it fulfills that role. There was a little bit of a break in time. After a week or so I added some oil to the axis lock mechanism + pivot and it made a big difference. It was not cheap, but it is a fun little edc that feels like a quality knife.
Great experience with DLT. Ordered
Great experience with DLT. Ordered a fantastic Mini Griptilian with engraving. Order was correctly and quickly completed. Another great Benchmade. Fit, finish and that wonderful fidgetty action are superb. Nearly perfect grind, too.
Knife So Nice You Buy It Twice
This is such a great knife! I have been hesitant to buy a Benchmade for a long time, but these upgraded materials, a spydie-hole on the sheepsfoot version, and DLT's superior customer experience (YAY they take PayPal!) made this a no brainer. This is a knife so nice you buy it twice!
Excellent little knife. It is
Excellent little knife. It is much more sturdy feeling than you might think and the 20cv steel is one of the best available. Makes for a real tough little knife in a small package.
Perfect
The perfect benchmade. Feels quality. Fits your hand perfect. Perfect size. I loved everything about this knife. Already has a deep pocket clip. The spydie hole is perfect and liked it much better than the stud. Never had to sharpen it but insanely sharp out of the box
Overall opinion
This knife is great but there are some minor problems. First problem was the pocket clip, it has the slightest of play. Second problem was I found the steel to chip a little too easy but a micro bevel should fix that.
Good Memories
I purchased a sheepsfoot style mini grip as soon as they were originally released. Loved the knife and carried it daily until about a year ago when I upgraded to a Ritter grip. When I saw the latest grips with G10 scales and upgraded steel I had to have one, especially when I saw I could get the sheepsfoot style again. It brings back good memories of how pleased I was with the original.… read more This one is beautiful, with the upgraded scales and the blue liners. Fit and finish is perfect, blade is centered and I like the deep carry clip.
Top edc
it is my permanent EDC as of now perfect...i have many others stiles and brands but for my life stile this knife is perfection...
New Spin on the Mini-Grip: works well for me
Have an earlier Ritter version of the Mini-Griptilian with orange plastic/composite scales, deep chord drop point blade and S30V, with thumb studs. (Did send that to Benchmade to correct centering and blade play issues.). After discussing that issue with DLT folks, took a chance on the new 555-1 with 20CV steel, G-10 scales, modified sheepsfoot profile and Spydie-like thumb hole…

for deployment. The 555-1 came nicely centered, had no blade play, sharp out of the box and feels stronger/stiffer than the older FRN scaled mini.
Nothing not to like for me- same good egos, just under 3" blade, deep carry clip (squeezed it a tiny bit in a vise and reinstalled to tighten it up the pressure when clipped to pocket), very convenient EDC. LOVE the thumb hole for deployment. 2.9 oz.
Kudos once again to Jason and DLT for their guidance and fine customer service.
