Recommend an EDC Benchmade please

I just got my Mini Griptilian from New Graham. Now I see what all the fuss is about. I love this thing. Playing with that Axis lock is addicting. So you know what I vote for!

I'm glad New Graham included bandaids with my knife. Ummm, you know why...
 
I have both sizes of Ritter Grips and they are great, just very lightweight and I like a little "heft" to the knives I use. I also have a 940 and a 525. Of those 4 and all of my Spydercos, I use the 525 as my weekend EDC. The size is great, the handle is nice and grippy (and not flat on the sides) and the 154 CM blade does a nice job of slicing and dicing and is easy to care for. It's also the smoothest opening & closing of all my folders.

The one drawback as I see it is the aluminium handle. As well as it works, if you ding it, you've got a pretty permanent "character mark". 'Course, you can always have it rescaled. I've seen a couple of nice 525s that Chax Knives has done in different materials.
