Benchmade Mini Crooked River AXIS Lock Knife Dymondwood (3.4" Satin) 15085-2

Aside from the fact that it's a great knife with a awesome blade shape and great steel, I find myself just looking at this knife a lot. I love the combination of materials Benchmade chose here. It's a pocket knife you should be able to carry for many years, and it looks the part. I have to mention that my blade came a hair off center, and there are a couple very nit-picky edges where I might sand a tiny bit more for perfect fit and finish, but I'm really digging deep to find that criticism.

Although this could be a great knife for EDC, I generally carry smaller knives unless I know I will have some use for the larger blade. I use this one for projects around the house, camping, food prep, etc.

Never handled the full size but this was a very clean, sharp and smooth knife right out of the box. A little off center but a couple weeks carrying and a little adjusting fixed that problem. Only issue for me is that the handle isn't a bit wider for handling. Someone with large hands may have a little troubling handling this knife very well.

This knife is awesome. In my opinion this should have been the first version of the crooked river. It is the perfect size for EDC. Also just by the appearance it adds a touch of class. Mine came centered and rock soild lockup. The only thing I did was change the clip to deep carry.

Just picked up the crooked river mini. Couldn't wait unfortunately wanted to order thru blade hq just became inpatient. Just like it's big brother, just fun size! Benchmade what else is there to say!
