Benchmade 556 Mini Griptilian vs. Spyderco Delica 4

[larryis1]

I've bought both before. There is no comparison- lockback knives are old technology, axis lock knives are new technology. Once you have used an axis lock you won't go back to lockbacks.

I have a Spyderco Delica4 FFG blade. Like the blade a lot. Agree on the axis lock. I have a BM 585 and 580 and the axis locks on the BMs are so much easier to operate. Also the Spyderco thumb opener takes effort to open the knife or maybe I don't get it.
