I noticed a funny thing...

A video I made for you then

Dammit: now you're making my palms sweat...
Will work this out over the next 3 days...
Thanks for the video!!

Deal is made... But it's the Mini version 15030-1

So true , some of the best Benchmade models are discontinued.

But it could also be that they are making room for even better models.
I did notice that my new knife needs some pocket clip screws...
Does it use a standard size and length screw; or am I in trouble?

No idea on screw size, sure BM can get you what you will need.

I never had experience with the mini, looks great man!

Thanks! Having both size Griptilians: the mini was always easier to carry...
I'm sure that this one will feel similar to my Mini-Grip.
I'll call Benchmade this week.

That's my point: this one seems to work better than any of my Spydercos do.
I am wondering if it is just how the knife fits my hand; or if Benchmade's ergonomics make them work better for everyone??

I have a bunch of 550/555 Benchmades, as well as many Para 2 & Para 3s. I agree that the Benchmades handle easier than my Paras. I think it's the handle ergonomics that make the difference for me. At 73 YO, my hands are dull and arthritic. BM's slightly rounded handles on the Grip series are more comfortable and usable for me than Spyderco's flat-sided Para handles. I can get a more secure grip on the BM handles.

The Mini Bone Collector showed up today. It is one VERY solid knife!
Kind of like a Grip that has spent too much time in the gym...
I haven't slung my micrometer across the blade yet: but it looks a lot thicker than what I'm used to seeing!

So this is turning out to be a pretty cool little knife. I found (made!) Some clip screws, and mounted the clip on the "dark" side. The action is sweet; it opens and closes easily, and there's no wobble in the blade.
This thing is gonna log some serious time in my pocket!

Good to hear man! It's a great blade, lucky you found one.

Thanks! But I'm blaming you for this particular "indiscretion"...
