Any Opinions on Benchmade Aphid / Mini-Ambush?

[Lock1454]

Seen plenty of threads on the Vex, but just came upon the Aphid and Mini-Ambush while browsing and they look nice enough. Interested in the Aphid especially where it's USA made. Anyone have one? Any thoughts on them?

I've been carrying an Aphid for a few weeks now and it's really grown on me. It's lightweight, the 440C holds a nice toothy edge, and the AO is robust enough that you don't have to worry about it flicking open in your pocket. It is a small knife and for me that was a big selling point but don't expect to be able to handle any large tasks.

I agree. I am in the middle of doing some custom work on the scales as my big mitts have trouble with the thumbstud.
