Okay, I've decided to get my girlfriend a nice knife as an early Christmas present so she can use it on her 5 day backpacking trip in New Zealand next month, (she leaves the day after thanksgiving and returns on Christmas is why its "early" and asked to borrow one of mine which is another motivation for me to get her one). Before we get started, please don't suggest a pink knife. She's 5'11", very athletic, and hard on equipment so something mid-sized, (3-3.5" blade), axis or liner lock, and likely with a G10 or aluminum handle. I could even imagine a lanyard tie. None of these are set in stone, and even non-Benchmade suggestions are welcome, (I'm a fanboy, but am flexible). She likes to be able to "flick" the knife open and likes my Osborne 940 reverse tanto, as well as my 755MPR....... but those she will not be getting, (trying to keep her a notch down from me, otherwise I'll start letting "gold class" be my new standard.
Considering the grip/mini grip................. possibly with the tanto blade. Any other suggestions?
