      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

                        Then again, my favorite and most used knife is a Swiss Army knife, so the fuck do I know…

                          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.

                                      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.
