This is the Benchmade part of the forum, so as far as Benchmade's are concerned, the Mini Grip(556) and full size Bugout(535) are definitely 2 of my favorite folders of all time. View attachment 1309457 They are currently under construction right now though. Having some custom scales made for them.
The Presidio models are the best knives Benchmade has ever made in my opinion. I’d like to pick up one of the new M4 models, but I haven’t had the funds yet.
I think the 745 mini dejavoo is my absolute favorite of anything they’ve ever made. Even though it’s a liner lock and it’s only got one clip carry option the size, blade shape and general appearance can’t be beat.
I've been a fan of the Mini-Grips for some years and that model has also been my daily carry until recently when I acquired the new version of the Bugout which has now become my daily carry. The CF scales are an improvement from the original version but I like that it's a bigger blade with a larger handle and a good ounce less in weight than the Mini-Grip. Also like the slimmer profile. About the only custom change is I asked Benchmade to send me the longer deep carry clip as it helps me get a more solid grip on this slender knife that the standard short clip. I love the full size grip as well but it's larger than I want as an EDC so it rides in my glove box of my Lexus Land Cruiser. I also have a couple fixed blades in the vehicle as well from my SAR days (Buck 119 and Fallkniven F1).
