I have a gift card to Cabelas and am looking at getting a knife. I have it narrowed down to these choices. SOG Seal Pup, Benchmade 156 CSK, or Benchmade D2 Griptillian.
 
Benchmade D2 Griptillian. :thumbup:

I bought one a year ago. It has been and still is my EDC. I'm very pleased with it! :)
 
From your given choices I would take the Benchmade D2 Griptillian.

But, if I may be so bold as to suggest something else, you might take a look at the Cabela's Alaskan Guide Buck 110, many people rave about them...

Were I in your shoes I would have a tough time deciding between these two, let us know what you decide.

Bold is fine, though a quick run-through of Cabelas site and I don't see the Alaskan Guide 110. I never gave Buck much of a chance as I figured they weren't as good of quality.

*Edit* I found the Alaskan Guide version, didn't see it at first since it wasn't a fixed blade.
 
Would you suggest the AG Mini Alpha? It's look is very appealing to me, though I wish the blade were just a little bit bigger.
 
Like I said, if I had a gift certificate for Cabela's, I would be stuck between the Benchmade D2 Griptilian and the AG Buck 110, both are on my "to buy" list, but that's just me.
I've never look that closely at the Mini Alpha, so I will withhold comment other than to say it's not a bad knife, but if you're considering it, ask about it in the Buck forum.
 
I've got both knives. They are both excellent. The Buck has slightly better steel, and came sharper ( S30V vs D2 is just my opinion, not claiming fact). The griptillian has better ergonomics in my opinion. Get both if you can. Joe
 
Well I ordered the Mini Alpha. Figured I'll probably carry it more often since it's not so big. Now just to wait 3-6 business days :P
