I'll see your PM2 and raise you the Benchmade Griptilian.

I like Spyderco a lot, but I made the switch to BM and haven't looked back.

I have a few gold class, I suppose this will be my next purchase: https://www.benchmade.com/15085-201-mini-crooked-river.html

Huh. I have a benchmade 940 and honestly I'm not a fan. The main thing is that I don't like thumbstuds for deployment, especially since the lock is sticky. Also the ergos never felt great; the knife is too slim for me. I never tried a griptillian, thanks for the rec!

The ergo's are personal pref, (although Spyderco always edges out in total quality).

I have a collectors version of the 940 (940-81), and def get what you're saying about the ergonomics.

Yeah, I think is the one I have too - it has S90V, right? Not a huge fan, I need to sell mine.
