Regarding the Benchmite and other all metal knives I rather prefer handle not to be made of metal. Think about freezing temperatures in winter. When using tiny knife like this you usually take off your gloves. And even when using the knife with thin glove liners, unless the handle is textured the knife tends to slip in your hand. Dougīs new mini knife is a fixed blade so the handle can be wrapped with cord but you cannot do that with folding knife.
Thatīs why I also carry plastic signaling whistle and not a metal one.
