Thankfully our little ones are too small xD. I also really dig how think it is. Pocket clip is a smidge tight for some of my pant hems but I can always bend it to fix that if I am ever not lazy.
It's not in the same class, especially with D2 steel, but a great budget alternative. The Kershaw Bel-Air is more in line and IMHO better value than either, though I've heard some complaints about the bearings on that model. If I had neither and the Bel-Air came in a better color, I'd save the money and go with that for sure.
Truer words have not been spoken! I don't know who manages the pricing at Benchmade but they have to be a coke fiend. If their QC was better I'd be less salty.
I filmed this while battling a fever so I apologize for being a little fumbly. Obviously the Bailout clip is the shorter one 😅.
I have both and I carry the orange bailout 3v more than the Malibu I like the slimmer carry my daughter always jacks my Malibu lol.

Get a Kershaw Iridium for $70 and you won't cry if it disappears or Bubba borrows it and breaks the tip off using it as a chisel.
It really is good too, smooth action.

Pro-Tech is a good company that likes you, Benchmade is a horrible company that hates you. Easy choice.
