EDC Knife

Benchmade 940 is the goat

I rotate between 3 Benchmades.

I've got a Griptillian, Mini Grip, and recently acquired a Torrent.

I've been on a Torrent kick for the last 3 weeks, nice looking knife, assited open is awesome.

Mini Grip every day

I've carried one exactly like this for 20 years or so.

I mean, I guess any pokcet knife can be used for self defense if required. I'm a Benchmade Min-Grip guy myself, have 3 total because my wife in incapable of moving my things to the same place twice.

I swap out the trappers from time to time but always keep the $20 kershaw also, just in case something comes along that could frick up the blade. Not going to mess up the trappers unless absolutely necessary.

This is the cheapest knife I own. But whatever steel they made these from is outstanding.

EDC, but if I'm butterflying a large roast, I skip the knife block, home this one a few times, and use it instead.

Amazingly well forged.

Another vote for the mini griptillian.
