Description:
The Griptilian from the Griptilian Series is an accessibly-priced and durably-built folder from Benchmade. It features lightweight scales and double 410 stainless liners to add strength to the knife handle. The pocket clip can be reversed for right or left handed people. The AXIS lock system makes the knife easy to open and easy to close (it operates identically for right and left handers).
Benchmade die-hards will agree that buying a Benchmade knife is about so much more than the knife—each Benchmade blade comes with a lifetime warranty and LifeSharp maintenance. Take a look at the other Benchmade knives we have!
I bought this knife for my daughter when she turned 13 as a way to teach her about knives and give her a responsibility to care for it and carry it. The knife is excellent in every way and she is very good handling it. She carries it every day when she is not at school.
Lightweight, Compact and tough. 154cm holds and takes a good edge. Blade coating wears very well, doesn't chip. However the pocket clip doesn't have the same coating. After a few scratches it starts to look cheap. However it is well worth the money.
