Help me displace my mini grip

Try a BM 707. As a big fan of the mini grip myself i really grew attached to the 707, over time i actually grew to like it even more. Go for it!

The Benchmade 707 Sequel is a great little folder with the same 2.95" blade of 154CM steel that I got as my very first Benchmade in August 2005. :thumbup:

How about a mini-barrage? The 586 comes with delicious M390.

Alternatively.... you can get a small Rat II for $27.00, I purchased one a month ago... wow what a great knife!
Opens as smoothly as the Ritter Mini Grip and with barely a push on the stud.
Has a great sound when it locks open, any one that has one knows that sound.

Ya what he said. You cant beat it for the price
 
Try the Sequel. I have one in my pocket right now. I am a fan of the mini-grip and have 3, including the recent special run with M4 steel. I carried that model for 6 weeks during a move, but have gone to the 707 Sequel. I also have the Caly 3. It is a very nice knife, but hasn't had much pocket time. Another knife to consider is the Spyderco Chaparral 1 in CF. it is a little smaller than the mini, but still a useful size. The Chaparral is so comfortable in the pocket, that it has been carried a lot.
 
Delica.
It's the Spyderco analogue of the mini-Grip.

Fits in the pocket nicely, and there's many variations to choose from.
Many different colours, different steels, different grinds.

Just buy it!!!
 
Well, the Spyderco Domino was released today so I'm hoping that will help a little....:D if it doesn't, I'll probably go for the Caly 3 or the 707. Thanks for all the recommendations!

Few words on the Caly 3 and 707:

707: In my experience, the handle length is too short for the blade length.
Caly 3: Great knife, but with the existence of the Sage 1, seems a bit pointless.
