      Thanks Doug, I very much appreciate you taking the time.

      Im in Aust, so touching (although ideal) is not so easy.

      If it makes any difference, our laws dont like folders that can be opened too quickly or easily..  In fact our laws dont like much at all these days.

      Mike.

        Neither one of them is particularly fast. You can open the griptilian with a wrist flick though. Can't with a delica. I don't know about the mini grip, but the delica pretty much disappears in the pocket, whereas the griptilian is thicker and you know it's there

        I think it's safe to say if you use your knife a lot, the griptilian is more comfortable in hand, but the delica is more comfortable to carry. You don't know it's there until you need it

          Personally I'd spend a little bit more and buy a Benchmade 707 Sequel by Mchenry and Williams. It's around $160 and it is a very nice blade.

            Oh, and for manual sharpening, vg10 seems easier to get a hair popping edge in my experience. Doesn't hold an edge as long so it's a give and take. Depends on how much you use your knives between sharpenings and how good at it you are

                Thanks again guys.  I will try the Delica i think. 
                For about $75 I think its worth trying.

                  Doug do you like the 707. I think it's a great little knife and a step up from both the mini grip and delica

                    Are you getting the zdp189 version? Because at $75, that's too much for vg10

                    The delica is a very good knife

                        I like the blade shape and handle, but the Axis lock never "connected" with me. It's a solid lock proven by time, but I just can't get into it

                            Doug I just ordered the C11FPBL from cuttlery shoppe.  Thanks very much for your help.

                            Will post it up here if it makes it through customs 😉

                              I have the full size Griptilian and even though I love the knife but I absolutely hate the original scales (bulky and cheap) - so much that I got the Kevin Wilkins scales (quite bulky as well but expensive - and it sits better in my hand. The grip on it is unbelievable 🙂 ) for mine and now it's perfect. I love the axis lock and love how you can flick the knife open and closed.

                              It's a tad large for EDCing but that's what I do anyway because it's so nice.

                              AIAN HA-TO!

                                We stopped in a nice little knife shop in New Hope, PA on the way to the Converge show in Philly.

                                Jeff got a Chris Reeves knife and…

                                A bad ass gift for me. Words can not describe how nice Jeff is or how fucking tough this knife is.

                                  I've been eyeing a ZT for a while now… If my Sebenza doesn't make it over quickly enough, I might buy a new knife...  😠

                                    Amen! I bought his William Henry, it's unbelievable. I showed it to my wife, who daily carries and she was like, "oh my god, can I have it? Please, please, please. It's so beautiful!" I'm not sure how I feel about my wife having a way nicer knife than me.

                                        You just bought the two knives I've been thinking of… It's even in my mail to the CRK customer service...

                                        I should add that I'm currently eyeing both a Mnandi and a Ti-Lock… Please stop making such kickass knives!..

                                          Eli I have a Startac Umnumzaan coming this week. The Ti Lock is a tremendous knife however it does not have the durability of a Umnumzaan or Sebenza it's more of a gentlemen's carrier.
