Benchmade griptilian thread!!!

[kwak]

Just to update my previous post, i have placed an order with Cuscadi for some Carbon Fibre Micarta scales.
I'll post some pics when the arrive.

I'm also in talks with another company this time in the US about making some Griptilian scales, this is not likely to come to fruition till at least May though.

Why do people like the Griptilian so much? It seems like any other knife, specially in the benchmade line with axis locks.

Cheap
durable
smooth
relatively maintenance free
ergonomic for a wide range of hand sizes and grips

Hmmmm... Wonder which one gets the most use/abuse?
The Mini-Grip! I gotta give runner up to the cutter/carbiner.
I do absolutely love the Mini Infidel & the 3550 Auto, but they
are for more "urban" uses.

I just bought my bench made mini griptilian 556 yesterday and have a problem already today. It feels like, and acts like, the spring is too tight. The blade will barely move up and down, and has to be moved with one hand holding the handle and the other hand moving the blade. Is there a way to adjust the spring tightness? Why would it have this kind of problem within 24 hours of purchase? I have only used it to peel an apple and open a small bag of peanuts.

It sounds like the pivot screw is to tight. All you need is loosen to the desired action. I would loctite the final position.
