Post by Art In Colorado »

I have a Mini Barrage and realy do like it. Now I would like a larger knife. Thinking about the Axis Filpper. Any sugestions would be welcome.

I agree the full size Griptilian is a great knife for the price

I have a 585 Mini Barrage. The larger knives are a little too big for my tastes. ftd

I'm with you guys, just picked up one with a black plain edge and sand handles, the 154CM steel cannot be beaten for holding an edge. Getting pretty good at flicking it open and closed with either hand. Why spend an extra hundie on an auto? ::shrug::

Made my decision. Bought a Axis Flipper. The one with the blue and black scales. Looks more heavy duty then my Mini Barrage plus I really like the 154CM steel. This is my third Benchmade with the other the new Bushcraft fixed blade.

Been awhile since I looked in. Bought a Nakamura Axis two days ago and it might be the perfect Benchmade for myself. What a wonderful knife.

I wish Benchmade would make the Griptillion with the Emerson wave hook on it. The hook in combination with the axis lock would be a great work knife. Just thinking out loud that's all. Mike

Was thinking the Crooked River but it looks huge compared to other BM favorites - the chart on this page illustrates nicely.
