Benchmade Mini-Pika Review

[bsjoelbs]

I got the Mini-Pika about a month ago. It came fairly dull (I could slide my finger across the blade and not get cut). It was a little hard to open the blade when I first got it, but it got better after breaking it in. The lock is very secure, but being a lockback security comes with hard release, pushing the release in is torture. The clip was great functionally, the knife disappears in your pocket. It's not a very pretty clip because of the ugly black finish, so I removed the clip and polished the it with a green Scotch-Brite pad, and it looked a lot better. The handle fits my hand perfectly, and provides an okay grip. It's a pretty good knife for $25.00. Overall I would give this knife a 3 out of 5.
