To summarize, it is excellent. Solid, smooth, lightning quick. It will be my EDC for years and years.A few other notes:1. Your blade may have a touch of play in it (mine did), just tighten the pivot screw and it will be perfect with zero movement. There is a very small tolerance in this screw between a tad too tight which slows down the opening and being fast but with blade wiggle. I'm talking like 1/8th a turn. I recommend a tiny dab of blue loctite on the pivot screw before you start tinkering. Without it, the opening recoil of this knife will definitely start to back that screw out a tiny bit each time and with such a small tolerance on how tight that screw needs to be you will get blade play . I would be very surprised if this voided your warranty, but cannot confirm. You could call benchmade if you are concerned.2. I went ahead and put some loctite on the clip as well. Careful when tightening these screws. I semi-stripped one of them while doing this. Doesn't bother me at all since those screws are nice and snug with some loctite and i'll never need to get them out. I wish they recessed the clip into the knife handle so it would be flush. The screws can just slightly catch your pocket and require a second jiggle to get fully down. This is a very minor inconvenience. The knife sits nice and low in the pocket. I wish the clip were either matte silver or black instead of mirror finish so it would be less obvious that I am carrying a knife, but it's not a huge deal. It does look pretty good on there.3. The coating seems like it is going to scratch up fairly easily. Mine already has a few tiny grey scratches from only a few days of EDC. I'm not at all concerned about this, some might be.4. The knife takes a good 100 openings before it really smooths out. When it first came out of the box I was sort of disappointed. The axis-lock was crunchy and the mechanics just didn't seem like they were to my expectations. However, after fixing the pivot screw and playing with the knife for a while the action is beautiful now. The axis-lock still kinks if i try to only use my thumb instead of thumb and index, but this is not at all a concern to me. I personally never one-handed close the knife.5. The blade was definitely very sharp out of the box and will be just fine for 9/10 people. It will easily go through paper but won't shave your arm. It can be improved with a bit of a touch up. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The perfect gentlemen’s EDC *by S***Y on July 12, 2018* Just got this knife in the mail and I love it. The mini is smaller in the hand than I thought it would be. It seems to be about the same size as the mini griptillian. It fits well in the hand but what I love most is the aluminum casing. It’s light, smooth and doesn’t smudge with handprints. The blade came razor sharp and seems like it has a strong blade. Came out of the box a little tight but can be adjusted. I work in an office and dress business casual but am an outdoorsman at heart. This knife goes nicely with business or casual. I only wish it came with other blade options like serrations and black. I don’t think that I’ll carry it more than my mini griptillian but I still like it a lot. The spring assist is very cool (my first one) and even unlocked I’m not worried about it coming open in my pocket as it is very secure. I think I’ll start shopping for another benchmade (Made in America!). I had been considering the 940 and mini barrage but ultimately choose the mini emissary and am glad that I did. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great EDC *by K***E on March 15, 2016* Pros: great steel (s30v). Holds a very nice edge. Lightweight. Assisted opening. Been carried daily for a year and a half and has very few signs of wear. Grip is made of scratch resistant material. Benchmade quality tool. Benchmade offers a life time warranty for repairs and sharpening.Cons: grip is a little slippery (my opinion) but not enough that it matters for EDC tasks. Blade has a tiny bit of wiggle out of the box. With the proper tool, 1/8 of a turn snugged it right up and has stayed tight ever since. Comes with a safety, but that is buyers opinion. Generally i don't like knife safeties, I just made it a habit not to engage it and it has never been an issue. The safety has a positive click to lock and I have never accidentally engaged it.Price is a little high in my opinion, however it is a premium steel and back by one of the best knife companies around. This knife is a fantastic EDC option, although it would be limited in any serious camping/backpacking application. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ro/products/6430725-benchmade-mini-emissary-470-1-knife-drop-point-blade-plain](https://www.desertcart.ro/products/6430725-benchmade-mini-emissary-470-1-knife-drop-point-blade-plain) --- *Product available on Desertcart Romania* *Store origin: RO* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
