Benchmade Griptilian - Benchmade's Very best All-Around Cutting Knife

The benchmade griptillian is one of Benchmade's most well-known models, and for really good reason. The Griptilian was my first excellent folder and, boy, did I pick a great one to begin with! The blade is 3.4" extended with a decently wide belly. It is not an enormous knife, but is large adequate to complete the job. Although I choose a slightly bigger knife for some tasks, the Grip is as big as the law allows in many states and may do whatever you need it to do. Steel is 154CM, which was the very first larger finish stainless that I had employed.

The modified drop point was awesome, though I really have a slight preference for a much more typical drop point shape. Even so, it most likely worked too, or even far better, for my purposes than a typical drop point would have.

The handles do really feel a little inexpensive and light, however they still feel great in the hand and did the job nicely. The Grip worked properly for everything that I asked it to complete. The size was about perfect for pocket carry as most of the time, I put on jeans, so I can effortlessly carry nearly any size knife comfortably. Even with dress pants, the fit was excellent.

The Axis Lock was incredible - easily the best lock type that I've employed (and there is not far more enjoyable than flipping it open and closed). The 154CM steel held an edge better than any knife that I had owned. Whilst any stainless steel will rust under the proper conditions, I had no trouble with rust spots at all, and I sweat a whole lot when operating. My buddies could not believe how sharp it was out of the box. I asked it to complete some jobs that a pocket knife actually shouldn't need to do, and it did them simply.

The only reason that I don't have the Grip now is simply because I lost it at my church's function day, and I could have cried when I realized that it had disappeared. The knife isn't inexpensive, comparatively, but properly worth the cost and I wish to get another one as soon as you possibly can! It would be one of my leading selections to get a good medium folder. The Griptilian is huge sufficient to do the job without acquiring in the way or interfering with travel. If you would like a good multipurpose knife, get a Grip!
