Benchmade Griptilian 3.45" AXIS Lock Knife / Satin / Gray-Blue G10 / HG (Prototype)

Prototype Manufactured December 2015

Benchmade's classic Griptilian knife just got even better with G-10 handles, blue barrel spacers, and a premium CPM-20CV steel blade with exceptional edge retention!

The Griptilian is a Pardue designed folding knife that utilizes the AXIS lock mechanism, which makes the knife easy to open and close for right and left hand users. The deep carry pocket clip can be reversed, making the Griptilian folder an equally amazing knife for right or left handed users.

The 550-1 has a satin finished sheepsfoot blade with a plain cutting edge and a thumb hole opener.
