Benchmade Mini Griptilian 556

A luxury knife

The Mini Griptilian has a steep price tag, but it’s better than the others by nearly every measure. The distinctive blade-locking system and movable pocket clip make this knife fully ambidextrous.

Great knife for EDC..... AND keeping the wife happy :)

I recently moved to a new house on land, and found myself consistently in a situation in which I believed a knife would benefit me. When I was single I was always very big on brand name, and would choose made in America products over foreign made products. However, now that I am married and have two...

Fantastic EDC but pocket shredder

Short Form: There is a very Zen aesthetic to doing something very ordinary and doing it spectacularly well. There is an equally Zen experience of appreciating such mastery only through time and exposure. I think the Mini-Grip really hits on both of those things. While it leans slightly more towards ...

When people return knives do you just resell them?! Seems so!

Blade grinds are uneven.blade tip is not symmetrical. Odd marks on base of handle . Disappointed Benchmade, seems to be a constant issue with griptilians . Where did USA quality go? Benchmades craftsmen need a refresher course.

My wife loves it.

A great little blade. My wife really liked my 20cv Mini Griptilian and asked if they made them in pink. I think she'll get good use out of the S30v blade. I was not much of a fan of the hollow ground 154CM Griptilians. They cut nicely but seemed very prone to chipping when I used them. Anyhow, she's...

An EDC I can be proud to own!!🔪🔪🔪

First of all, I've only had this knife for about 2 weeks, but I love everything about it. Pro's: The quality is excellent. The blade is centered perfectly. The edge is nicely beveled on both sides and is hair shaving sharp out of the box. The s30v steel is a good quality blade and brings a smooth sa...

First Benchmade and I love it.

This is my first Benchmade and I would say that I love it for EDC. It fits comfortably in the hand, it's razor sharp and holds a edge for a long time. I use a home made strop and a Work Sharp and within a few minutes. I will be buying another Benchmade, probably a fixed blade. Overall, this fits nic...
