Best knife i own - Benchmade Griptilian Folding Knife w/ 3.45" Blade

This is currently my every day carry knife at work and at home so it gets a lot of use. While I have many more expensive and arguably nicer autos from Benchmade and others this one has earned its place by my side. It is lightweight so it is not burdensome to carry everywhere yet like all benchmade blades I own it is exceptionally tough, comes extremely sharp, and holds an edge very well. The handle has a great size shape and texture, I never lose my grip despite oil grease or mud. The axis lock mechanism is the best lock I have ever encountered, it is easy to manipulate the knife with one hand, the action is incredibly smooth even after months of heavy use, and I have total trust in its safety when locked open. My prefered configuration is the 550bkhgsn, which is the hollow ground sheepsfoot blade, black finish on hardware and blade, and sand handle color. I very much prefer this blade type on this knife and would highly recommend it over the others, though with so many colors and styles you can surely find something that fits you. For me what makes this my #1 choice every day is the price, for about $100 I get benchmade quality that I don't worry about scratching, beating up, and eventually losing.
