This is the second mini that I've ordered and received. The first was a regular 27M. Since they're miniatures, I've announced to the family that they're going to be willed to my granddaughter (almost 3yo now). Another option is that when she reaches an appropriate age and expresses interests in fine knives, I'll give them to her outright.

Meanwhile, my wife has not been too excited about the knives I buy. She can appreciate a quality knife but they haven't tickled her fancy.

I got a pleasant surprise when the copper mini arrived.

"What do you mean, exactly, when you say it's for <Granddaughter>? That copper really stands out. Maybe I'd like it."
