Well today I bought a Mini-Pika at Bass Pro Shops, and I'm truely amazed at the quality of this knife. I spent $25 and got a knife that well surpasses some of the $50 knives I own. For being a "Mini" this knife is actually the perfect size. The handle fits my hand like glove. I love the pocket clip too, rides nice and low, no worries about losing this one. I also noticed that the pocket clips screws are threaded into steel inserts in the Zytel handle, awesome quality. This for sure if my new EDC, that is untill I get my Griptilian. I'm just so friggin' happy right now. I don't think I'll be buying any other brand but Benchmade from now on! :D
 
Its a sweet knife for the money for sure. Why would I buy CRKT when I can get a piece like this?

I love the deep conceal clip. An AFCK'ish knife for under 30 bucks. I should have bought at least two when I picked up my large.

I've been carrying mine IWB at work and that puppy is not noticeable at all.

I know Quiet Storm is a fan of this model too.
 
I buoght the fullsize Pika a little over a week ago, and they are great, I am wanting a mini now to check it out.

Most definitely! :)
My only complaints would be the chamfered opening hole (to slippery for my taste, but others may actually prefer that feature) and its blade play - the latter being very common even in more expensive lockback folders.

It's one of the best bangs for the buck around.
 
I like the thumbhole, but I have small fingers so my thumb fits nicely. I haven't noticed blade play yet, but it's only 5 hours old :D

Ahhhhhh I can't wait to get my Griptilian!! :D
