Any suggestions in place of Benchmade mini-Grip?

Hello!

I'm EDCing plain mini-Grip right now. Really sharp and well made knife. And also, nice size to carry.

But from comparing to Spyderco Military or Emerson Commander, mini-Grip's handle feels kinda too smooth, plasticy.

Anything you could suggest instead--with G10 handles, similar size--for switching mini-Grip?

Thanks a lot!

Benchmade 707 Sequel. Very similar knife with aluminum handles with G10 inserts, almost an exact copy of the mini-grip with better scales.

Spyderco Sage series? Terrific IMHO and worth consideration...

My thoughts as well, if you can find a 705 that would be good too, its basically a smaller version of the 710 and what inspired the 707 sequel.

Alternative option, get custom scales and make the knife your own.

:thumbup: Great blade, great action, deserves some great scales!

+2 Having custom scales made for it will be around the same price as buying a new knife like the 707. I would go that route since you already know you like the blade shape and the action of the mini-grip. I love the 707 as well so either way you can't go wrong. Look at Cuscadi and Wilkins for the Mini-Grip scales.

Another vote for custom scales for your mini grip. Much improved feel in the hand while of course maintaining the great size and action of the knife.
