When it comes to all-round functionality, you can't beat the Griptilian®. There are more shapes, sizes and colors available in the Griptilian® than any other product family from Benchmade. Super-strong Axis® Lock for right- or left-handed use, a terrific and faithful every day carry in two sizes: standard Griptilian® (blade length 8.8cm, weight 107-118g) and MiniGriptilian® (blade length 7.4cm, weight 76-82g).
