I had a Benchmite II that my ex gf lost. ANGER
Anyway, the Benchmite I is definitely better, but it's not worth the price increase. It's a neat little knife that doesn't scare people, but the anodized ones have superior steel, are made in america, have cool designs on the back and auto/ao is actually pretty useful on a small knife. One of the few autos I'd consider illegally EDCing, so it's so small and harmless looking. But it has no pocket clip, which...sucks...always feel as it's going to fall out of your pocket.

I liked my benchmite, but I seem to have misplaced it. Nice and small. Inoffensive to the sheeple. Blade locks open, and closed. For some reason I think that a cop would appreciate that. Definitely not a one hand opener. Not a flick opener. Now that I think about it, I guess the autos are. Mine was not auto. Takes a good edge. Very slim. Only knock that I can think of is that it is so slim that you won't notice that you lost it until you go looking for it. At least I didn't.
