My dad has been carrying the same Kershaw Blackout for about 5 years, give or take, so I ordered him a Benchmade Mini-Grip. He is going to love the Axis lock once he gets used to it. The only knives that he will buy for himself these days are Scandinavian Puukkos, and that is rare.
On reason I went with the Benchmade is because he is left handed and the axis is truly ambidextrous. He had been using his Blackout in his left pocket with the clip set up for righties.
It is going to be a little bit of a study: Which will he like more for deployment -Benchmade Axis lock or Kershaw Speedsafe? Time will tell!
