Does anyone own this knife? Have you handled it? What are your thoughts/impressions? Decent little knife?

I carry one every day. It is my don't upset the sheeple knife for work. I've had mine for about a year or so. I like the fact that it is flat, small and thin with no pocket clip. I have to wear suits for work and it rides in the right front coin pocket of all my suit pants. It seems to keep an edge well and does sharpen easily. I do however always carry a larger folder in my left rear pocket, but the Benchmite gets most of the light use (ie boxes, bags, and letters at work).

Anyone else have any experience with these?

Nick2CD, I think the BenchmiteII is imported by Benchmade from Taiwan (?) and may not be as high quality as their US made knives. However, if you are interested in a really nice "small" knife you might take a look at the Fallkniven U2. This is an "exceptional" knife in the size of a Benchmite. BTW, I am a Benchmade fan with few exceptions, this is one.

I love my BenchmiteII I carry one almost every day. It is a very Safe knife that I dont worry about in my pocket. It locks closed as well as open. As far as Quality...it is second to none. It's Aus 8 stainless blade is the same as the my first Spyderco Delica. I have liked this knife so much I have been giving them as gifts.

i agree. i bought some of these to have engraved for my groomsmen and i love them. i know they aren't top of the line, but the quality is really good. well made, they lock up tight, pretty sharp, decent steel, great fit and finish. can't ask for more in a $25 knife. im pleased with them. i haven't put it through any hard use, but it's not the right tool for hard use anyways. i'd get a griptilian for that.
