-boker war toad (great design, also pretty good steel used (440C)
-spyderco dragonfly 2 ( has one of the best premium high end steels available (ZDP-189)
-benchmade mini griptilian (affordable and made by benchmade who are recognized as a really good knife brand)
- crkt swindle (great design but the steel used is low tier)

Im split deciding which one of these i should buy, the first three are all around 110 euros, which is the amount i have to spend, but the swindle is less, but has a lower tier steel used for the blade.
Thanks, and please, if you arent sure about what you're talking about, dont post.
 
Depends on how large your hands are. ZDP-189 is in a whole different class from the other steels on your list, so the Dragonfly 2 would be my top recommendation, but the Mini Grip is a bit more comfortable to use if you have XL hands.

I agree on the DF2 but I gave away a Mini Griptilian because the grip was too short for me. DF2 looks to be smaller in that area but the choil and ergonomic grip shape makes it easier to hold onto than the Mini Grip design (at least for my larger hands). If you have smaller hands, the Mini Grip should be fine. I have trouble with Benchmade's grip designs unless they're longer than should be necessary. A Benchmade with a similar design that has more grip area is the Mini Presidio Ultra. It's 440C, not a super steel like ZDP but good nonetheless.
