I could even handle it if there were aluminum or stainless liners, but no, the whole thing is cheap plastic, and for the price here ($80 Canadian) I would feel like a total sucker buying a knife that appears so cheap.
Everyone says they are great. I was going to buy a MiniGrip, but after handling it I decided against it. I love the overall design, with the Axis lock, small hole in the blade and the blade shape, but I just couldn't get over the cheap FRN (Plastic) handle on it.

Not Spyderco thanks
I find it hard to believe that you handled a MiniGrip like you say you did. Like was said above by a2d2 the MiniGrip has full steel liners and a person would have to be pretty unobservant to handle one and not notice them.
