I'd be really interested in a smaller version of this knife. I currently carry a Bnechmade mini-Griptilian that is at least 8 years old, now. It would be nice to have a second knife as a secondary or just-in-case piece. The mini is something like 6 3/4" open, and I find that to be the sweet spot for me in knife size.

TipsyMacScotchslurpenI thought my mini grip was a perfect fit for me but I got this any way. I have to say this is in my pocket a lot more than the mini grip. It’s not a giant knife, it’s just a bit bigger than the mini griptilian.

Brandon_r08Yeah, it might be ok for most people, and it doesn't seem like much of a difference, but it compares very closely to the standard Benchmade Griptilian for dimensions. This knife has a thinner overall handle and is roughly 0.2" shorter in closed length and blade length than the Griptilian, but it is significantly heavier. I accidentally bought a standard Griptilian a year or so ago thinking I would get another knife of the same brand/style as I already had to serve as a backup, but I didn't realize at the time that the knife I had was the "mini" variety. When I got it, I tried to carry it for a while and just couldn't like it. I ended up giving it to my mom so she would have something that was high quality to carry in her purse.
I just sort of grew up carrying a knife with a handle that is just big enough to fit my hand, and I prefer something thin and light in my pocket. That's not to say that this knife is too big in general... just too big for my taste. I hope they decide to come out with a mini version like Benchmade did. If they do, I'd really like to grab one. I think I'd like the thin, flat scales better than the thicker, rounded ones Benchmade uses, but otherwise love the ambidextrous clip option and locking mechanism of both knives.

TipsyMacScotchslurpenI don't own this knife, but dimension-wise, it seems closer to the Bugout. Price-wise as well. That being so, it is to the Perpetua's detriment. The Bugout is superior in every way- with better steel, and a MUCH lighter and slimmer body.
Judging by the reviews, the slide lock is nowhere near as reliable as the Bugout's. There are many comments regarding poor QC on the Perpetua. Which is concerning. I can't imagine anyone spending $130 on this Drop collaboration, rather than the Benchmade (unless one already has a Bugout and is just out collecting things).
