Mailman dropped one off at my door today with a Rake and Knockout. Sweet little monster.

If I hadn't found out about the K12 I probably would have jumped on a Mcusta. I always thought the Gemini would be my first Kizer, but that one looks like it might be in my near future. Thanks!
 
Have you seen the new Spyderco Vrango? It looks like a great little gentleman's folder/office-carry.
 
My collection consists mostly of Benchmades, but I have a couple others that might fit your needs.

BM 850 (2.8", 2.6 oz.) (no pocket clip)
BM 705 (2.95", 2.7 oz.)
BM 555 (2.91", 2.68 oz.)
BM 707 (2.95", 2.6 oz.)
BM 485 (2.96", 2.18 oz.)

BM 482 (2.48", 1.85 oz.) (no pocket clip)
SOG Twitch II (2.65", 2.6 oz.) (assisted)
BM 555

GREAT post, thank you! I'm always trying to dish out comparison pics when possible but the addition of the specs is really going the extra mile! What scales are that on your 555? I have one with Cuscadi CF with G10 backspacer (2.6oz clipless) and AWT (3.3 with clip).

I believe they're Cuscadi "Silk" scales, I could only find them listed for the full size Grip though. I bought another mini grip that already had this stuff on it (scales, backpacer, deep carry clip) and swapped blades, so I'm not sure who made the backpacer or clip I have.
 
Beautiful line up right there Corey!! Some real amazing blades my friend!!!
Wow!
OP.....I'm in HVAC so not many office friendly blades, but my ZT 450 seems to fit your bill.
Awesome little knife that is one of the best flippers out there.

Thanks Joe, that ZT 0450 is one that I'd like to try. I went to my local shop a couple days to buy one but he didn't have any.
 
Try to grab one bro! Thing flips like a champ with a really great blade shape!
Got mine from Scott at usamadeblade. He has them already annoed for no extra charge.......grabbed a blue one and just love it!

The Delica 4 is so lightweight and small (not in a bad way) I forget I have it. And when I need a knife I get bummed that I didn't bring one and then I reach into my pocket and remember my Delica. I love that blade
 
Got my K12 today and it is mighty fine. Unfortunately for it, the mailman also dropped off a knife I have been wanting for a very long time...

What about the Inkosi or Benchmade 484-1?
Click to expand...

Both are on the wish list! I keep hoping to find a used 484-1 for under $200 because I plan to drill the liners... See how close I can get it to 3oz.

Benchmade Shoki 480-1, 1.8 oz., 2.8" M390 blade
Discontinued, but worth the search
