Benchmade griptilian thread!!!

[Advil]

I loved the 555HG so much that i got another one. But I haven't opened it yet because I kind of want the blue one. anyone wanna trade??

 

[schiesz]

Just get another. I have 4 right now... Blue would be nice. I like my neon green one.

I finally joined the fray and found a deal for a 556 Mini-Grip. Love it! Great knife and just the right size for EDC. I didn't have to sharpen it, but I did strop it to bring out a razor sharp edge. After having it a few days I decided to go ahead and buy a full size Griptilian. I decided on a D2 with Olive Drab handle. The Mini is definitely easier to carry, but if I need a knife for some kind of heavy cutting, it'll be the full size which is easier to flip open and surprisingly feels better in the hand even though I have what I think is medium sized hands and everything I read about them suggested the Mini if you don't have large hands.

BTW I paid $60 and $81 shipped, did I do okay? I looked at a lot of websites before I bought and that was the best I could find.

my new favorite knife

Sweet! I wish I'd have bought the blue, but I went with boring black.

 

[mossyoak]

im gonnna get either a blue or yellow one with the droppoint plain edge spydie hole, that setup makes for a hell of a utility beater blade.

I got a blue mini 556 for $60 at MC Sports in Bloomington Indiana. They were on clearance.

They have serrated too.

Goes great with my full size sheepsfoot model. :thumbsup:

I spent all of today reading about the griptilian and going through countless pictures/videos/reviews. I placed an order for the Doug Ritter Griptilian at about 3pm, and just a few minutes ago bought the Wilkins grips (only 2 left, so I felt like I had to). I really hope this knife impresses me and is better than my current EDC, a BM Mini-Skirmish.

Anybody's clip getting the paint worn off and some scratches like mine?

It really is no big deal, but I noticed when I work at a local restaurant (boss is cool with me having my knife for opening boxes, etc.) that it presses up against metal when I'm preparing food, thus scratching it up a bit. Also the regular wear and tear doesn't help either.

It's no big deal but something to consider, I'll have to post pictures of my baby grip soon :naughty:

Here is my Mini Grip in D2 flavor.

That's absolutely terrible, horrible, despicable! People shouldn't be allowed to have such a monstrosity. Send it to me; I'll make sure to dispose of it properly.

...oh, an :welcome:

I just realized that I never posted pics of my RitterGriptilikin

 

[2000xlt]

that's mine ... but it was kinda new when taking this picture (~ one year)

I love that pic, thats why i got my 555

I've been carrying this combo (in orange) lately as well. The combination of Ritter and Wilkins makes for an expensive Griptilian, but it's worth it. Great knife!

I'm interested in the Mini Griptilian, too. The best price I could find was the REI 20% $89.95. You found one for $60?
