Martin, wow, just love the pics. I am getting one. I loved the locking system and every thing about the Mini one when I held it. Sure, the larger one was great but I am worried about exceeding a 3" limit with police and anyway, the uses I need it for, the smaller one is just fine. Now, to decide on color of the handle, lol.
I did send a forum member dollars to get a Spyderco Persistence since I liked many of those lines and if he did not have it (he had one), then another member has a Native I am getting, I think.
If you or anyone knows where I can get the Mini at a deal, let me know. I found knifecenter has most of them for $61.00 or so. I do know I want a plain edge as I would never be able to sharpen the serrations. I did get the Persistence in a plain edge. But if I need the combo, please anyone feel free to talk me into it. I think I will get that modified sheepsfoot design and other than color of the handle, I dont think there is much differentiation in the Mini Grip other than blade style - there is no different steel and I guess I can get an all black blade, and that is one dilemna for me.
Thanks all. On my newbie thread, I kept thinking aloud that I really liked how it felt, how it opened and everyone says, if it sings like that to you, you will wish you got it. So I have made the decision. If anyone knows of a trade for one, I have a knife up for trade so let me know. If this is inappropriate, let me know and I will modify my post.

Edit: I dont think Ill spend the extra coin on the H20 model. I am seeing Pardue designs and then Ritter and something about M4 and it is confusing me. I guess that makes it more dollars? Did I read right that the colored handles are either different material or do something else? If I am going to buy a new one, I want to get it right and so if anyone can explain the different configurations, and if any config is gonna make it more than $70 or $75 online (when I can get a black handle plain edge at $60) then we can skip it, since I did get the Persistence today.
