Benchmade Griptilian  

  

The Benchmade company is an icon in the cutting tool industry.  The Benchmade Griptilian series of knives are part of Benchmade's "Blue Class".  They are designed and built for the individual who appreciates the difference a high quality cutting tool can make.  Ask any cop what brand of knife he's carrying, odds are it'll be a benchmade.  

Benchmade Griptilian

There is a wide selection of colors, styles and blades available for the griptilian.  Most models come with a 154CM stainless steel blade which offers great corrosion resistance and  good toughness.  The 552 and 558 RSK models designed by Doug Ritter come with S30V steel and a modified blade shape.  

The exlusive "AXIS" (tm) locking mechanism is standard on all models.  It locks the knife blade firmly in position after it is opened with an easy flick of the thumb.  The thumb studs/holes and the locking mechanism are both completely ambidextrous.  Blade length varies from 2.91 to 3.45 inches depending on model.  The grip textured handle and finger guard provide a secure comfortable feel.

All models come with a reversible clip, and lanyard hole.  For around a hundred bucks, you'll have a hard time finding a better folding survival knife, or for that matter an every day carry knife,  than the benchmade griptilian.
