Haven't found it yet, it probably won't be "out" until after the SHOT show this month.

Chris,

You're right! I can't find anything on Google. I like those bright color handles, sorta adding some island flavors!

I downloaded the 2009 catalog tonight, the only thing in it is the 551-ORG. No mini's are listed in orange, sorry, I would have grabbed a mini in orange to!!!

:huh: :faint:

I just spent $64 on a brand new regular-sized Griptilian, :sigh:, and has a tracking number sitting in an email still.

Why didn't I wait a little longer? I like colorful and easily-recoverable-if-dropped tools.

With Aloha,

Has anyone seen the new 551-ORG for sale yet ?

Do these have rubber grips, or are they all metal ?

I never had a Benchmade before...

 

[Sgt. LED]

I WILL have that 551 Orange!

Oh and the scales are a type of very tough nylon. :thumbsup:

My first Benchmade was the 556 Mini Grip.
Here it is just after it was returned from the Benchmade warranty dept (hence the grey box) after one of the omega springs failed. This photo is about …4 years old now.
It came back with 2 new springs, 2 new washers, new scales and new clip, and came back SCARY sharp.
Great international customer service from Benchmade. It cost me about £7 insured post one way since I bought the knife in the U.S.A.

I love my Griptilian 553 (Black Tanto, Serrated). My girlfriend bought this for me for my Birthday. I'll add a action pic when I get a chance.

+10,000 for Griptilian!
