## Description

desertcart.com: Benchmade Griptilian EDC Knife, S30V Steel Blade (551-S30V) | Black Grivory handle, Drop-Point blade : Benchmade: Sports & Outdoors

Review: BEST EDC! - I have been researching around this size of knife for a EDC. I always have a knife on my hip no matter where I am. When looking for a new knife I usually go for the lowest price and best reviews, however my friend an I both love benchmade products. So we were both wondering about spending the $155 to get a fully customized Griptilian. I didn't want to spend that much so I purchased this model on desertcart. If you customize a knife at benchmade.com you can choose different types of steel. This model on desertcart has the cheapest option of steel. I ordered the clean blade no serrations mainly because in the past serrations have gotten in the way and while they have some use the saw on my leatherman does the job even better. Out of the box this knife is sharp enough to shave with. There is no blade play at all and the blade is still perfectly centered between the handles after two weeks of heavy use. The axis lock is one of the strongest locking systems I have come across. Ive had my fare share of liner locks fail on me and this does not seem it will ever break. While the handles seem flimsy and plastic they are actually very high strength and if i understand correctly should be very heat resistive and not very electrically conductive. The pocket clip is reversible which for my friend (who also ordered the knife but with a sheepsfoot blade) who is left handed. The liner on this knife is only partial, it goes down the back of the handle in order to attach the screws but does not line the entire inside of the knife. The grips on the handle of the knife are surprisingly comfortable and provide the greatest grip for your thumb. This knife does come with a lanyard hole I will be making a little paracord grip to pull it out of my cargo shorts pocket easier. The knife sits low in the pocket which is good because it doesn't attract too much attention. This is by far one of the best knifes and Im 100 percent sure I will be carrying this for a long time.
Review: AWESOME KNIFE - 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 desertcart. 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: where is this knife made ?**
A: Most recent one is Taiwan. It says so on the knife.

**Q: How good is this knife for self defense?**
A: Great knife. Excellent utility, lightweight and durable.  Fantastic grip... However, asking this question,  I'd advise you to help yourself and seek training rather than ask the internet.

**Q: Is this knife legal in Seattle, WA?**
A: Yes it is.

**Q: What oil should i use for the pivot?**
A: Benchmade makes an oil. Otherwise you can use pretty much any lubricating oil you would like. Also if it is getting stiff, make sure the torque that holds the blade has not over tightened.
