Love the Pipsqueak - just not fond of the China-made knives, thus, no Albatros. The Minos seems heavier duty - certainly larger than the Pipsqueak - either fills my pocket. I've carried the Pipsqueak more, but, sad to say, it couldn't displace my EDC, a Benchmade 755 MPR, for long. Oddly, the US made MPR has Austrian Bohler M390 blade steel while the German-made Pipsqueak uses US-made S35VN (... which is good enough for Chris Reeve's knives!). I am glad to 're-discover' my Pipsqueak... it'll displace my recent EDC, a ZT-0770CF, chosen mainly due to it's ELMAX steel blade and light weight. My Pipsqueak is still razor sharp, too.
