I just found out recently that what I had bought a couple of years ago was not a regular production Grohmann mini Russell. I bought it from a store that is now closed after the owner passed away.
I do agree that the regular drop point looks better than the clip point.
The ergonomics are the best, I only have about 25 knives but no other knife I have is as comfortable in my hand as this one.
I bought it because being Canadian I wanted a knife made in Canada, and the history of it's founder is very interesting. Same reason I bought my opinels, bucks, cases, victorinox. laguiole,. I enjoy learning about the history behind these knives.
For what I read, Grohmanns are very popular among Canadian outdoor/hunter types.
Also the lock is rock solid. When you hold the knife at both ends and try to force blade play it feels like a solid piece. Maybe because it is a mid lock. My back locks have a certain "bendiness" to them when I do this (even if they no blade play at all).
Anyhoo LOL, I will have to get me regular one now
