Have just started getting into knives at 63,lol Been carrying a Kershaw 3/4 ton at work for years. got a few off brands like Gonzo and them a kershaw blur.s30v(love it)Byrd, spyderco and finally got me a little Benchmade Mini grip in cpm154. If all their knives are as good quality as this one is out of the box, I'm sold! Marvelous.
