which one of these would you prefer?

GPknives and Knifeworks are good places to buy Benchmades. If you like the minigrip (personally, it's too small for me), then I'd highly recommend you get it limited from GP knives. They have a version of it exclusive to their store that uses M390 steel instead of 154CM, but it's a limited, so it'll sell out. Seems like a great price for such a high end steel (kind of like M-4, but stainless).
 
Mini Grip, by far. I have never been pleased with any Delica I have owned/handled (I like the design, but all have had lots of blade play and/or were not very smooth).
 
Spyderco Delica 4

Even with owning CRKs and selling many knives including a handful of spydies the Delica 4 still remains in the collection.
 
Alright, I'm gonna get the Delica.
Anyone know a TRUSTY! site that has the Delica 4 ffg with gray handle in stock?
 
For the money, you might want to take a look at the Spyderco Persistence. I have 2 Delica's and the Mini Grip, as well as the Persistence. Even though the blade steel is what some consider a lesser steel (a relative term)in the Persistence compared to the Delica & Mini Grip, my Persistence has excellent F&F and seems to be a remarkably nice knife for the money.
 
Ordered the Delica yesterday. I also stopped by Bass pro shop on my way home and left with a SOG Flash 1. It's a cool little knife. The main reason I got it was the price wasn't to bad. All the other knives they had were overpriced compared to what I've seen online. Which I expected before I even walked in. I only paid $5 more than what I could find online. Once I was in there holding all the knives I had to walk out with something. : )
I also like how light it is and the assisted opening. Which has me thinking of picking up a bigger assisted opening knife.
So anyone got any suggestions on an assisted opening knife with:
3.5" blade or close to it.
Under $100.
Isn't a SOG Flash II.
Thanks for your help guys.
 
For an assisted knife, if your willing to go slightly over your budget, I'd say go with a benchmade nitrous stryker.
 
Just got my Delica in the mail. This thing looks great, and it came razor sharp (shaving sharp). I paid only $57 after shipping.
The nitrous stryker is actually in my budget. I see it for $101 shipped. Not sure if i want the liner lock though.
 
Delica 4 FFG all the way, the least expensive out of the three and IMO the most functional. The BM Minigrip comes up as a close second.

EDIT: Sorry didnt see your last post.

When it comes to liner locks i am generally EXTREMELY skeptical. This one has held up very nicely though IMO. had it over a year now, carried it quite a bit, and have no blade play in any direction. One of the few LL's i feel comfortable with.

You made the right choice. If you find yourself looking for something larger, the Delica's big brother, the Endura, is also available in an FFG version and has all the positives of the Delica in a larger size.
