Added BENCHMADE 551 GRIPTILIAN Axis to list. Just a few dollars more

I have two Benchmade Griptilians. I'm very satisfied with them.

The griptillian if purchased fom CABELAS is D2 STEEL.

I have carried 1 for 4 years.
D2 hold edge 2nd only to zdp and next would be n680

Out of the choices you listed, I'd go with Delica first then Griptilian second. There's a reason both of these knives are so popular and have been in their companies line-ups for so long.

Thanks for your reply's. I think i narrowed it down to 2. Although during my quest i found that I will be purchasing more then just one. Lots that I like. Can't have too many knives right?

Spyderco manix2 full flat grind (s30v steel) vs Spyderco Delica4 full flat grind (VG-10 steel)

Just what does EDC stand for? I own a lot of knives. Have had a great interest in edged weapons all my life, own 9 custom Randall Made Knives, Ka-Bars, Case, Queen, Victronox etc, etc, and sitting here with 2 Kershaws in pants pocket. A #3650 R.Martin and a #1970, with 6 more Kershaws on the nightstand all assisted openers ( I like the assisted opening feature)........never heard of EDC! Please tell me.

Good choices on the Delica and the Sharpmaker!

Thanks....never would have guessed. All these three letter things are confusing...
The only thing I know about is TDC and BDC but that's only because I own a stock 1968 Chevelle SS with 357 CI V8 engine and do tune ups on it. Oh- I know what PSI stands for and that OMG thing. I'm learning , thanks for info.
EODC - every other day carry. Look I just made one! This is fun...

Truth is I don't have an EDC , Got too many I like and depends on how I'm dressed.

Both good choices!

There are additional rods for the Sharpmaker to (UF, diamond, and the new CBNs) to consider down the road. Make sure to watch the DVD that came with them. Sharpen all your SO's kitchen knives, and keep them that way (a better name for the Sharpmaker might be Sharpkeeper), and benefits will accrue to you. Trust me!
