Benchmade 551 Griptilian Knife - 2007

The Benchmade Griptilian Modified Drop-Point Knife combines the unmatched function of the AXIS locking mechanism with the simplicity of a molded handle design—it's a new species of knife. Safe, reliable, smooth, and affordable, the Griptilian is available in plain and combo edge versions, as well as with a BT2 blade coating. Unleash the Griptilian's performance with a simple thumb rotation. The hand settles naturally over the palm-swelled shape and its textured skin.

Bottom Line: Get a grip with the Benchmade Griptilian Knife.

Great knife

By:
June 6, 2007

I purchased Benchmade after ogling a similar knife at a local retailer for months. The full size Griptilian is a powerful tool that I've chosen for full time use as well as a specialized backpacking knife. I've had the knife for about a month and carry it regularly. The knife's medium size when closed fits seamlessly into any pant/short pocket. As far as cutting goes, its function is unsurpassed. It has a great feel in the hand and pops open with single hand operation. I'm enjoying the knife so far and will update this review w any further developments as time goes by.

Excellent Daily Carry

Though I have some nicer more expensive folders, this is an excellent bang for the buck. The axis lock is smooth and fast for one handed opening and the C154CM steel holds a nice edge after few minutes on m Syderco Sharpener. I lost mine a few months ago and will probably buy another one.
