      It's nice but it is very small for my fairly large hands. It's pretty comfortable to hold but the blade feels a little short sometimes. The lanyard gives a bit of extra control, my pinky finger doesn't fit on the handle so it grips the lanyard. But hey, I wanted a small knife that would fit in the coin pocket and this sure fits the bill.

      Kind of wanting a BM Mini Griptilian at the moment but it is a bit bulkier…  😎

      AIAN HA-TO!

        I have a mini griptilian. I've almost never had it in my person since it's very thick and I don't like to keep it in my pocket. The blade is very good and the opening/locking mechanism is maybe the best I've used. It's about three times as thick as Chive (edit). 😞

        EDIT: Not Chive but Scallion!
        EDIT EDIT: I'm obviously a bit confused. It is indeed Chive, they're very much alike… 🙂

        I just noticed that this guy sells custom scales to Mini Grips (among others):
        Custom Scale Division


        Vintage micarta scales on a mini griptilian. I can see the possibilities… 😃

                Hey Doug…
                What is your take on my idea of an IH knife collab (see ideas for Haraki thread)?
                You seem to be the guy in the know for this sort of thing...

                  Sterling silver won't have the tension to hold a knife in your pocket. It'll bend too easily

                  Chris Reeve doesn't do collabs with two exceptions, and those two are very special exceptions: Harsey and G&G Hawk

                  That being said, I can arrange to have the IronHeart logo engraved into a Sebenza handle, but we're looking at about $450-500 for a large sebenza, $400-450 for a small, and money would have to come up front because I don't have that kind of money to float

                  I actually came up with the idea for a special run of IH knives a year or two ago, but Giles and I never followed through with it

                  I'll pitch it at Giles again and see what he thinks

                        That Sebenza looks great, but I think I'd have to pass on something that expensive that I couldn't use as EDC in the UK.  Good luck though, it looks smashing!

                            Emerson doesn't do collabs unless you order in the 100's

                            I haven't talked to Mick in awhile, but he generally does not do collabs either

                                  I'm not thinking of going with a mass manufactured knife and slapping the logo of a small production run company on it

                                  I'm thinking full, one of a kind custom, very small run (less than 25)

                                            I'm not sure IH is about taking someone else's mass manufactured product and slapping their logo on it to keep the MSRP down…
