Benchmade Griptilian - Benchmade's Greatest All-Around Knife

The benchmade griptillian is one of Benchmade's most popular models, and for really great purpose. The Griptilian was my 1st good folder and, boy, did I pick a great one to begin with! The blade is 3.4" lengthy having a decently wide belly. It is not a huge knife, but is huge enough to do the job. While I prefer a slightly bigger knife for some tasks, the Grip is as huge as the law permits in numerous states and may do whatever you'll need it to complete. Steel is 154CM, which was the first higher end stainless that I had employed.

The modified drop point was amazing, although I really have a slight preference for a more typical drop point shape. Even so, it almost certainly worked also, or even far better, for my purposes than a typical drop point would have.

The handles do really feel a bit cheap and light, however they nevertheless feel great in the hand and did the job properly. The Grip worked nicely for every thing 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 simply carry almost any size knife comfortably. Even with dress pants, the fit was good.

The Axis Lock was amazing - easily the most effective lock sort that I have used (and there is not a lot more enjoyable than flipping it open and closed). The 154CM steel held an edge far better than any knife that I had owned. While any stainless steel will rust below the right circumstances, I had no difficulty 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 do some jobs that a pocket knife actually shouldn't need to do, and it did them simply.

The only reason 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 inexpensive, comparatively, but well worth the value and I need to get yet another one as soon as possible! It could be one of my best options for a great medium folder. The Griptilian is big enough to complete the job without getting in the way or interfering with travel. If you'd like an excellent multipurpose knife, get a Grip!
