Benchmade Griptilian - Benchmade's Greatest All-Around Cutlery

The benchmade griptillian is one of Benchmade's most well-liked models, and for very excellent purpose. The Griptilian was my 1st excellent folder and, boy, did I choose a great one to start with! The blade is 3.4" lengthy having a decently wide belly. It is not an enormous knife, but is huge sufficient to do the job. Whilst I choose a slightly larger knife for some tasks, the Grip is as large as the law permits in many states and can do whatever you'll need it to do. Steel is 154CM, which was the first larger end stainless that I had employed.

The modified drop point was amazing, although I actually possess a slight preference to get a a lot more typical drop point shape. Even so, it probably worked also, or maybe better, for my purposes than a normal drop point would have.

The handles do really feel a little cheap and light, however they nonetheless feel great in the hand and did the job well. The Grip worked properly for every thing that I asked it to complete. The size was about ideal for pocket carry as most of the time, I wear jeans, so I can easily carry nearly any size knife comfortably. Even with dress pants, the fit was excellent.

The Axis Lock was incredible - effortlessly the most effective lock kind that I've utilized (and there is not a lot more fun than flipping it open and closed). The 154CM steel held an edge much better than any knife that I had owned. Although any stainless steel will rust below the correct circumstances, I had no difficulty with rust spots at all, and I sweat a whole lot when working. My pals couldn't believe how sharp it was out of the box. I asked it to do some jobs that a pocket knife actually shouldn't have to do, and it did them effortlessly.

The only cause that I don't have the Grip now is because I lost it at my church's perform day, and I could have cried when I realized that it had disappeared. The knife just isn't inexpensive, comparatively, but properly worth the cost and I need to get yet another one as soon as possible! It would be one of my leading selections to get a good medium folder. The Griptilian is big enough to complete the job without getting in the way or interfering with travel. If you would like a good multipurpose knife, get a Grip!
