Benchmade 556 Mini-Griptilian MDP Close-Up

[ellipsisman]

Tx, excellent vid; perfect length and lighting. I just ordered one after much vacillation between the mini grip and the mini bone collector.

[streetmaster63]

@ellipsisman Thanks! You can't go wrong with either one. I have the small Bone Collector as well :)

awesome knife!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[streetmaster63]

@jestopacio I agree! :D

[techiscool1]

are these good edcs

[streetmaster63]

Absolutely! These are one of the most popular EDC's today. They're very durable, high quality, lightweight, and very easy to carry.

[techiscool1]

i was just wondering because i am thinking about getting a blue one.

[streetmaster63]

It's the perfect size for EDC. I have two, the 556 and 555, and I carry them more than any of my other knives. I wouldn't mind a blue one myself.

[techiscool1]

i think all of them look good and good choice with the plain edge that is what i prefer.

@techiscool1 They are great... I carey one

I always wanted the Mini-Grip to have a thicker blade. The cheaper Mini Ambush's blade is thicker, and it's also $20-30 cheaper on average.

Still a good knife, however.

[streetmaster63]

The Mini Grip's blade has never felt thin or flimsy to me. I've never even felt the blade flex whatsoever. The Mini Ambush blade may be a hair thicker, but it's cheaper steel. So you're not gaining much with that tiny bit more thickness. At least that's my opinion, I'm no expert.

Bought one for my wife.Its better than most of my bigger knives.Love it when she takes her Grippy out in front of our friends.Nice video

[streetmaster63]

Sure you can, for about 57 bucks at KnifeWorks :D

[archikawa]

Interesting close up!!! Liked it. What camera are you using??

[BLUNTRUTH4U]

Excellent look at the knife! 5 stars!

[streetmaster63]

Thank you! I can only hope that my macro's can equal yours.  I'm still experimenting...

[retal06]

Hi! Is there Benchmade 556 with plain black edge?

[streetmaster63]

I'm not 100% sure, but the only ones I've seen are Cabela's exclusive. Comes with black or OD handle. They're not cheap, over 100 bucks. Unless you can find one elsewhere, that's all I could find.

[virtuovice]

If you don't mind, in your opinion which is better, axis lock or rolling lock?

[streetmaster63]

Axis Lock is better, it is stronger and has less moving parts.

[streetmaster63]

Here's my honest opinion: spend another 20 bucks or whatever and get a Mini-Grip instead of the Mini-Ambush. I have both and never use the Mini-Ambush. It's not terrible, it's just not as good as a grip. The mini-grip has better blade steel and the Axis is better than the rolling lock.

[virtuovice]

yes, thanks

[virtuovice]

yes, thanks

I really hope out mini grips will no become illegal! that would be just plain crazy

[streetmaster63]

I agree. I think it's a stupid proposal. Send your government representatives an email asking them to oppose it.
