Do what I did; SWMBO has a day-glo green (her favorite color) Mini-Griptilian that I gave her for her birthday a couple of years ago, partly as an excuse to order my fullsize black Griptilian.Reysc wrote: I know you're right!!

Gotta hand it to Benchmade on that one, too. Both are knives have been through a lot, and both will still take and keep a scary edge in just a few minutes with the Gatco sharpener. I've still got the CRKT and the Kershaw that I had before I got my Benchmade, but they're in the cars as backups now, since neither of them has quite the same overall quality.
I'm hard on knives, (I once ruined a Cold Steel Large Gunsite Tanto by whittling bois d'arc) so I'm picky about quality. Anything I can get for $30 or less tends to be ruined within a week. Two years in my pocket (to its credit, the Cold Steel was going into its third year when it died) is a real indicator of quality.
