[ This is my first Benchmade knife and I must say that I am in love . I decided upon the standard Griptilian instead of the mini version, while this is still a lightweight knife it is a little large for my EDC preferences but I ca n't fault them for that .

The Salute Mini is somewhat of a misnomer for this knife . It is a very well built, well balanced, mid- sized lockback . It has an excellent blade profile for piercing as well as slicing . Dual, bronze pivot washers are rare at this price point . Nothing was really skimped on with superb knife except maybe the bead blast finish as opposed to satin polish . I ca n't comment on the black version other than my personal preference for silver blades . You 'd be hard pressed to find better quality and value than the Salute `` Mini '' . It's a no B . S ., awesome EDC .

This knife was given to me as a gift in 2017, and I have confidently carried it every day since . This is a tool that I have depended on for countless and various jobs . I 've used this blade for everything from cooking to carving fishing lures, and it has always impressed me . You would be hard pressed to find another knife as reliable for this price .

Knife is amazing . Very smooth opening, blade is very sharp and has maintained that edge throughout the first month of use . Only improvement iand these would make it the best edc ever would be to have some texture on handle it is very sleek and smooth to touch and to make it just a touch longer . I don ’ t have great big hands but it is still a slight small . When opening it feels it could jump out of my hand

Scoutmaster-Paul
I recently purchased the new SCOUT Knife as a Christmas gift for my son, who has recently enlisted in the Army . This knife exceeded all our expectations . Its robust build and sleek design make it not only a practical tool but also a memorable keepsake . My son absolutely loved it! He mentioned how it brought back fond memories of our Boy Scout camping trips . This gift turned out to be more than just a piece of equipment; it sparked hours of conversation on Christmas Day, reminiscing about our past adventures and the special times we shared together . Gerber has not only delivered an outstanding product but also helped rekindle precious memories . Highly recommended for its quality and the wonderful nostalgia it brings!

Everything about this tool is perfect . From the blade to handle ratio, ambidextrous construction, lightweight glass fiber polymer, slim no nonsense design, to the firm feel of the liner lock and blade stop . the tolerance is so tight that there is no blade play out of the box . I do n't typically fall in love with a knife at first sight . However with this one I immediately had to buy it . If there was one thing I 'd change about it . I 'd have to say I 'd like to see it in an auto or spring assisted version . I 'd buy an auto pledge like time yesterday . Anyway that's my Ted talk . My favorite knife to date .

I got this knife on my birthday last month from my dad and I have not found one reason yet to live with out it .

I recently purchased this knife on this website after wanting to try one out for quite awhile . I am not disappointed . The knife is weighty in the hand but ergonomically designed so as not to feel `` heavy '' . It feels present while clipped to your pocket, which I appreciate . After carrying this it has quickly become my favorite EDC with it's ease of deployment, wicked sharp factory edge and very solid build quality . I am not an expert or a snob by any means but after having several below$ 50 folder knives come and go, this knife feels like a substantial tool; not just a tape cutter or mail opener . If you are interested in the knife and have the means, go for it! And to our friends at Dick's, the model number does not contain a `` Z '' . This is an American made ZT 0350 . I confirmed this with the manufacturer . Thank you for offering it on the website!

Myself
Sorry to hear other do n't like it, but I lost my first one and am on the site to order another . The thin blade is great for my applications, I do carry a pen knife for small/precise uses and another for self defence( also a SOG) . I did n't like the lock that kept it from accidently opening so I removed it with pliars . I consider adjusting the screws normal maintenance so the guy that complained it was too stiff is on him in my opintion . After a couple years of use you WILL have to tighten the screws on MOST knives, but once I had mine adjusted to preferance I have n't had to change it in a long time . I also do not like the thumb tabs as they wear a spot on my jeans so I also removed those, I might think about just grinding them down a bit on my new knife .

After carrying this knife for a month it has exceeded all expectations . For such a slim and light weight pocketknife it is strong, sturdy and sharp . I would consider thos a `` must have '' as an EDC or 2nd knife for 1st responders/ military . Especially great to clip I to the waistband of gym shorts or just to carry in hot weather .

Some knives may feature coatings or treatments to enhance performance and reduce friction. The choice of material can affect the knife's sharpness retention and ease of maintenance.
When selecting a folding knife, consider factors such as blade material, handle design, and locking mechanism. Think about the primary use of the knife, whether for outdoor activities, everyday tasks, or self-defense.
