The Benchmade Griptilian 550-S30V is lightweight, ready for action, and at your service. With more shapes, sizes, and colours available in this knife family than any other, Benchmade has perfected the Griptilians for maximal functionality. The Griptilian 550-S30V features a 3.45” hollow-ground blade that opens manually with the thumb hole, and locks out with the AXIS locking mechanism. Finished with a satin finish, the sheepsfoot blade is made of upgraded CPM-S30V steel that holds an edge like you wouldn’t believe. The lightweight nylon handle is ergonomically designed for comfort and ease of use. Durable and environment-proof, the nylon handle also features a textured panel for a secure, non-slip grip, and a reversible tip-up pocket clip and lanyard hole. Keep the Griptilian in your pocket as an EDC, or take it to the field. Wherever it’s put to the test, the Griptilian will excel.
