Grip or mini-grip

I prefer the full size but it is a subjective thing that will vary from person to person. They are both great knives. I have had no problem with the axis lock.

Can anyone tell me about the durability of the spring involved in the axis lock and how long they last? Thanks.

I have lots and lots of Axis Lock knives and have never had an omega spring fail.
I carry them safe in the knowledge that, if one does break
the other will keep the knife safe and usable until I can arrange to return it to Benchmade, who will fix it for free.
 
I have both sizes and much prefer the Mini for EDC. It has a great "blade to overall size" ratio, and has always been big enough for the job. I have also carried this particular knife for about 4 years almost every day, and routinely flick it open and closed using the lock (instead of the stud) with no problems. Probably average opening and closing 4-5 times/day. Great knife- I just bought a spare.
