Benchmade Griptilian - Benchmade's Greatest All-Around Cutting Knife
The benchmade griptillian is one of Benchmade's most popular models, and for extremely good reason. The Griptilian was my 1st great 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 sufficient to do the job. Whilst I prefer a slightly bigger knife for some tasks, the Grip is as huge as the law allows in many states and can do whatever you will need it to complete. Steel is 154CM, which was the initial larger end stainless that I had used.
The modified drop point was awesome, even though I truly have a slight preference for a more typical drop point shape. Even so, it most likely worked too, or even better, for my purposes than a normal drop point would have.
The handles do feel a little inexpensive and light, but they nevertheless really feel good in the hand and did the job well. The Grip worked well for everything that I asked it to complete. The size was about ideal for pocket carry as most of the time, I put on jeans, so I can simply carry almost any size knife comfortably. Even with dress pants, the fit was great.
The Axis Lock was incredible - effortlessly the most effective lock kind that I've utilized (and there is not far more entertaining than flipping it open and closed). The 154CM steel held an edge much better than any knife that I had owned. While any stainless steel will rust beneath the right conditions, I had no trouble with rust spots at all, and I sweat a whole lot when working. My friends could not believe how sharp it was out of the box. I asked it to complete some jobs that a pocket knife really shouldn't must do, and it did them simply.
The only cause that I do not have the Grip now is because I lost it at my church's work day, and I could have cried when I realized that it had disappeared. The knife just isn't low-cost, comparatively, but nicely worth the value and I need to get yet another one as soon as possible! It could be one of my leading selections to get a excellent medium folder. The Griptilian is huge sufficient to complete the job without acquiring in the way or interfering with travel. If you would like an excellent multipurpose knife, get a Grip!
