Which Benchmade are you carrying today?

I picked up this Mini Claymore last weekend on a whim. It was on sale for a very good price and I've never owned an auto. Very comfortable in the pocket (same size as my Bugout) and I'm enjoying the fact that I can just push a button to deploy the blade. The safety has nicely machined grooves that make a satisfying click when moved if you are one to fidget.

Just arrived yesterday. Already lovin’ it. First Mini Crooked River (fourth Benchmade for me 😅). Benchmade’s carbon fiber is some of the best-looking in the knife industry, in my opinion (have it on my Mini Bugout), so I had to get some more!

Nice configuration. I've wondered if the action is any better on a custom shop Benchmade.

Sentimental story, feel free to skip -
I met my wife ten years ago this week, working a summer job a long way from home. This is the knife that I had with me at the time; only one I brought (didn't know the exact laws 2,000 miles away, so 3" seemed like a good choice).

This week, my wife and I met our daughter for the first time. I had the same Benchmade in my pocket. 😊
