Benchmade Gold Class 556-141 Pardue

YIKES!! That's the baddest mini Grip Ive ever seen! But $550 for a mini Grip? Ill wait for the REI G10 mini due out this year
 
Wow, thanks Keyman for the pictures that is gorgeous. Looks like a completely different animal than the regular mini-grip.
 
This is a beautiful knife. I will say that the MDP Grip is one of the best knives ever made.

Great! I was at REI yesterday and the regular Griptilian with G-10 was nice but I'd much rather have the smaller Mini with G-10.

I feel the same way when comparing regular Griptilian vs mini Griptilian. When is the G10 Mini Grip suppose to come out? Is there a place I can sign up for notifications?

btw: what is "crowned CPM-M4"?
 
It is a beautiful Mini for sure, a bit out of reach on the price for me though. I will have to make do with my Ti Wilkin's/Ritter"s which just so happen to be my favorite. Not taking anything away 556-141 because it is a looker for sure, who knows maybe someday.
 
i don't see the issue with it being a mini grip. i will never buy it, but the only similarity is with it being the same general shape as a mini grip.
 
Thanks Keyman. Wonderful pics.
A 175 each of this knife was not even close to enough.

Are you a lefty? :eek:

also, what do you think of the "hand polished convex edge"? I just noticed that feature, which seems new since other gold class models don't say this on benchmade's website.

Nope.
I usually carry on my right side, on my belt (or left side in my front pocket).
The edge is awesome.
Laser sharp and mirror polished.
So far I have carried, but not used.
My normal EDC is my preferred cutting tool......

 
I'm so blown away by the looks and quality of my 556-141. It's absolutely flawless and to boot I got it at just $506 (MSRP: $650, MAP: $552.50).

Welcome to the fold RamZar!
It is quite exquisite isn't it?
Are you going to carry/use it?

Thanks. It's a winner!

Seriously considering carrying it due to the right size and looks. Haven't decided yet. It's my only 556!
 
$550? $700? Nice eye candy but there are lots of good semi productions and customs out there for that much or less.
