Looking at getting one for edc, seems to be a great edc. Just want opinions. Thanks! I'm also looking at PM2 and Manix, out of the three, which?

Manix. I've had all three and the manix will be cheaper. If you get the new blurple s110v it has skeletonized liners and is barely heavier than the griptilian with the stock scales and noticeably lighter than the awt scales. Way better bang for your buck. $137 full skeletonized liners and g10 with s110v vs partial liners and frn with m390? hmm I sold the other two and now have two manixes and I'm not looking back.
 
Manix for sure, then PM2.
 
The mini grip is much smaller than the pm2 and the manix. The regular size grip would be a better size comparison. Out of the 3 I prefer the grip. PM2 is too long for me, Manix is too wide in the pocket. I own all 3 and the griptillian (both regular and mini) gets the most pocket time.
 
It is hard to give advise as to what would be best for you because everyone has different sized hands and preferences. The Manix didn't work for me but my buddy swears it is the best EDC knife ever. While I really like my PM2, my large Griptillian gets more pocket time.
 
I just put AWT scales on my full sized grip. It transforms the knife completely. Feels so much more substantial. Excellent fit and finish too. The PM2 is pretty great too, though. I've had one in my EDC rotation for about 2 years now. I won't get rid of it.
 
I'd take the mini Grip. I have the full-size Grip, but if I were picking an EDC today I'd take the mini.

I had a Benchmade with a thumb hole; I don't think Spyderco is for me. My son carries the mini grip I gave him almost every day. I also gave him a Spyderco PM and I have never seen him use it. I suppose I should ask him why, but his implicit vote tells me a lot.
