Griptilian Knife, Plain Edge, Nylon Handle

Really excellent product! It is a little pricey, but as a person who has carried a knife as a tool every day for over fifty years, it is worth the price. Strong, sharp and extremely well made.if you are looking for a life saving tool,that will last a lifetime, this is for you.

Knife guys know that the Griptilian, or its baby brother the Mini Grip, is considered by many to be the standard bearer when it comes to an EDC knife. Benchmade puts out great products, and without a doubt the Mini Grip can be considered along them. The blade comes very sharp, and holds an edge well. When it is resharpening time, it is very easy to put a nice, clean edge on it. It steel is very rust resistant. As ever, the Axis lock is strong. I can't imagine a stronger lockup, or one that is easier to use. As with every Griptilian that I have bought, however, I did need to back the pivot screw off just a bit so that I could grip the lock and flip it open and shut. I always do this to the absolute minimum necissary, then I oil it and flip it a bunch of times to get things running smooth. As it comes from the factory there is no blade play. If you back off the pivot screw, like I did, you may introduce a bit of play. If this bothers you, you may have to sacrifice the ability to flick it open while pulling the Axis lock after you tighten the pivot up again. This is no problem, as the thumb studs are tactile and make deployment easy. The handle is a reinforced nylon like material. So people complain that this makes it feel cheap, but I don't really agree. Anybody who picks this thing up and uses it a bit is going to know it is an exceptional knife. There is gimping on the sides and outer edges to give you a solid grip. My only complaint is the gimping on the sides is very agressive, and I worry about it shredding my pockets. I wish they would put a flat spot under the clip similar to what Spyderco does on the Delica. So if this is such a great knife, is it in my pocket everyday? No, it is not. I prefer my Benchmade 940. The Griptilian is a rugged knife that you can beat on, but part of why I carry a knife that costs the better part of $200 is that special feeling you get when you pull it out of your pocket. However, if I couldn't carry the 940, the Griptilian, or its baby brother the Mini Grip, would be a strong contender for my pocket real estate.

I’m gonna start out and say that i like to collect knives. i have knives ranging from $10 to $200. I knew that this was definitely gonna be one of my expensive knives and this was my first time buying benchmade. when it came in i was surprised by how light in weight it was. it has a great balance and an insane edge. this knife is definitely my favorite knife. i’m a little disappointed with the handle but that’s only because i’m not a fan of plastic handles. it is nice how it has so many grips on the handle but i’m just not a fan of plastic. not to mention it just feels cheap and it wasn’t. but there are ways around it. i also ordered a new handle, a different pocket clip for deep carry, and i may buy thumb studs. they haven’t come in yet but i do like all of the personalizations i can make to this knife. the blade is what makes the knife tho. i love the nice rugged/girthy look this knife has. it just looks like something i can use everyday. it feels awesome in my hand and i feel awesome carrying it. i have been looking for a knife that suits me and is “my go-to knife”. the edge is so perfect it cuts through paper with ease. I really like the lock on this knife. i’ve never seen anything like it before and i find it interesting how this is the only knife brand i’ve heard of that uses this lock mechanism. This is definitely my favorite knife that i have bought. the only major downside i have is the handle and i dont like the fact i had to spend about $50 more on personalizations that wont even get here for another month. boohoo on amazon. but other than that this knife is an absolute masterpiece and it’s definitely worth the price. I’ve been seeing a lot of people saying it’s crap or not good and that the safety doesn’t work but i had no problems with it. if you’re looking for a knife that can get dirty, beaten, thrown around, and survive through harsh environments then this is the knife FOR YOU.

The knife is amazing, razor sharp, comfortable grip, high quality knife and you can tell since you open the box, my only negative comment is that not all the benchmades bring the serial number on it, so you cant verify the knife on the page, a little disappointed, but the knife is perfect for EDC

I bought this knife and have been using it for almost two years (bought it since January 2012 when the price is still around $75-80) I carry it everyday for... maybe 8-10 months I guess. And I really like it. I would give it a 8.5 out of 10. Pros: - Benchmade Axis lock - Very strong lock. also contributes to easy and smooth one- handed opening. (no need to flick your wrist to open the knife fast!). Also, closing the knife one-handed is easy, with a little bit of practice. - 154 cm steel- hold its edge for very long time. Not very likely to chip. I drop it on a hard surface from about 2 feet and the tip hit the floor. It bend a little bit, but didn't break. and it is not very hard to resharpen -Pocket clip - Just perfect! - Strength - Blade, locking mechanism, and handle. Very strong and reliable Cons: - Price - back then, for $75 this knife offer an amazing value. However, Paying $95 for a satin blade Griptillian is just too much. For the price you will pay for this knife, I would suggest that you look into Spyderco Manix 2 (overall better knife which cost less that the Benchmade). Spyderco Delica/ Endura are also comparable to this knife in term of quality, but will only cost you $60-75. You can also save $20 more and get Spyderco Paramilitary 2, a way better knife - Plastic handle- It is very strong, but I just hate the cheap feeling it offers.... (who knows, you might like it !!) Overall: It is definitely a good knife and I can see why it is one of the best selling knives by Benchmade. If I do not own this knife, will I buy it? Umm.. Maybe. Again, I would rather buy Spyderco Manix and PM2 though

開封してそのままで、十分よく切れるしコンパクトで自分は、手紙の開封や梱包の開封などに使用させていただいています。

ずっと気になってたベンチメイドやっと買えて喜びと流石と言うべき仕上がりに満足。 切れ味が箱出しでもうスパスパです(｀・ω・') 少し気になるのは、新品だからしょうがないですが ブレードの展開がちょっと硬いので、少し緩めないとサムスタッドの親指展開は少し厳しそう！

使って半年程だが、特に問題はない。操作性も大変良く、箱あけやたまにのアウトドア程度なら研ぎ直しの必要も見受けられない。コスパが良いかといわれると、答えに詰まるが間違いなく良いナイフだと思う。ミニの方も購入するか迷っている。

二年前？にサムホールの方を買って兄にあげ なんだかんだ欲しくなり購入しましたが、 相変わらず良い動き、ハンドルの握りやすさ、 扱いやすさなかなか良い一本だと思う サムホールの方のを買ったときよりかなり値段が上がっていたが値段のわりに刃の切れ味は残念だった。 研げば良いが箱だしの切れ味って結構重要だと思う。

商品画像はハーフセレーションなのに到着した商品は直刃でした。 確かに商品説明には直刃とかいてありますが紛らわしいので訂正をお願いします。 ナイフ自体は大変良い物で楽しみにしていただけに非常に残念です。
