I went out today to buy a minigripper, but no one had them for a reasonable price, and the stores that did carry them only in the waysI don't like them. Bright blue or yellow hilts with the "hole" in the blade for opening instead of the notch--not the way I like it. I need it black and with the notch. It still feels cheap, especially for a 70+ dollar knife, but I'll trust you guys and give it a shot IF the world will stop conspiring against me to prevent me from obtaining the knife. If I can get one that I like, for a reasonable price, I'll TRY and do a four way comparison between 3 inch folders....the storm, centofante, m16 and minigrip. So frustrating...of a city...can't...get....the...knife...
