Looking for something like the Benchmade 3550 (Pardue) but smaller

[GeoBruin]

I love the Benchmade autos, especially the symmetrical 3550 but I'm looking for something a little smaller. Anything between a 2 and 2.75" blade with even remotely similar characteristics?

Thanks!

Gerber miniconvert has 2.8" blade. Very similar shape.

I have a Benchmade 3200 Pardue. Send a PM to discuss it further.

The only thing that comes to mind in that blade length range are some William Henry models. Kinda pricey, though.


GatorFlash1, the 3200 is bigger than the 3550.

The 3200 is slightly bigger, but still a very sleek carry at around 3". It is a thin knife. Here is what Benchmade says about it.


Unequaled benchmade performance goes undercover in great design and good looks. Compact size and slim profile come up big on carry comfort, even in active situations. clip-point blade style is honed for finite control and toughened for edge sharpness. Push-button actuated with integrated safety for positive lock-up open or closed. A racy, machined aluminum handle fills the hand with grip without stuffing your pocket. Texture G10 inlay provides added traction. Sleek steel pocket clip stays tight for secure carry. Form and function are neatly packaged at the ready for your world. No tough decisions here- it’s automatic.
