The Benchmade Bone Collector.

Had a mini BC, but I was never crazy about the blade shape, or the overall thickness of the knife in-pocket compared to the Mini Grip. But that's just me. The BC sounds great on paper, it just never worked out for me from an ergonomic standpoint.
 
Greetings:

I have a Bone Collector and really like it--very smooth axis lock engagement accompanied by a satisfying "snick" sound. I wished I would've gotten the larger version, however, and I wished the blade were black given the walnut handles and black hardware. I couldn't make it larger, although after reading in the Kershaw sub-forum about how someone successfully used etching solution on the D2 portion of his Rake, I got some of the stuff and tried it. I recommend wearing a full biohazard suit with an internal oxygen supply while using it.:) At any rate, it darkened the blade quite a bit, and then I applied Super Blue with a Scotch-Brite pad to get it darker. It was a completely novice, first-time effort that took several tries just to get it to look tolerable. Here's a picture of the result:
