    Sounds like tan and black blade is pretty popular. :)

    I appreciate your efforts OP!!

    Woops clicked on one mini instead of three :rolleyes:

    I'm in for what ever color the group agrees on but I do dig the satin blade a bit more than the black (I like looking at my steel).

    Not at this point. I want to wait a little while to get a close tally. I will make a thread in GB and WC sections to see if anyone else is interested. I am hoping some people who are LEOs/military/fire will have interest in possibly getting their coworkers in on it (it's a good knife and a good price so can you go wrong?!)

    Great idea. First time poster...long time lurker. A full size tan with black blade sounds great...but am fine with the consensus of the group.

    I apologize for not getting back with you in a timley manner but my cheap guys I work with aren't intrested because they carry crappy knives and are cheap!!

    I wanted to publicly post that vs a PM so that people can see NIck is trying to get the knife count up to make this work for you guys!

    Again sorry for the delay!!

    I would like 2 black/green minis...or whatever color combo the majority decides.

    Thank you very much, NickZac, for organizing this!

    Awesome. I'm in for at least one. I'm a fan of OD, but whichever gets the most votes works for me.

    Sorry, I see now its not assisted, but am still interested.

    While it isn't assisted, I think you will find AXIS to be faster than most assisted and most automatics. With the position of the lock bolt, it gives a lot more stability in opening/closing because of where it places the hand. Unlike assisted and autos, you can also close AXIS just as fast as you opened it, making it a truly easy one-handed closer. I actually prefer it over assisted for that reason.

    Info on AXIS if you are interested...

    Voted mini-Grip, but I would probably spring for a full-sized if the order went that direction instead.

    Would prefer OD scales, followed by tan, followed by blue. Anything but black scales. Preferred. But if you go black, I'd still spring for one.

    Too much information?

    ETA: We are talking about plain blade, not half serrated, correct?
