Which Benchmade are you carrying today?

Mini Coalition, but I don't think it's a keeper. Squeezing the handle can cause the knife to not fully open, even after dicking around with the pivot.

That sucks man. I like the look of that one. Never had an auto.

It's a great size, but my 3550 is nearly the exact same size and opens every time. I think the deep-carry clip on the Mini Coalition ruins the ergos a bit. I'll throw a split arrow on it to see if it improves at all.

We drove up to our place in Vermont Thursday and got back Sunday evening. Depending on whether we were traveling, out in the woods, or going to town, I had either my new lionSTEEL SR11, Olamic Wayfarer 247, or Spyderco Endura on me. Every day, up and back, I had my Proper in the bottom of my left front. Just a great little second-carry knife!

It's really a re-boot of the HK Mini Entourage and my HK doesn't flex like that. Guess the new materials are the difference??
