The Griptilian is a pillar of Benchmade's lineup, a top seller for its ambidextrous design, comfortable ergonomics, and reliable performance. The 550-1 has upped the ante with upgrades across the board. The scales are gray G-10 with a blue accent layer, and the finish and shaping gives the knife a great feel. The blade has been upgraded to CPM-20CV which offers incredible edge holding. Thanks to Benchmade AXIS Lock, one-handed opening and closing quickly becomes second-nature and makes it effortless to deploy. The knife comes with a reversible deep-carry pocket clip.
