Griptilian 555 with an upgraded knife steel and grip in G10. The handle is gray with an intermediate layer in blue.
The 555HG series has the smaller size in the Griptilian family. The blade has a concave shape (Hollow Ground) with a downwardly curved tip. The design combines strength with extra effective cutting effect. A large hole in the blade provides good thumb grip.
GRIPTILLIAN®
Griptilian is without a doubt one of Benchmade's most talked about series. The model has been hailed by knife enthusiasts around the world and is one of the market's most popular everyday folding knives in the premium segment.
Reasonable size, extremely light grip and good steel quality. Of course in combination with Benchmade's unbeatable AXIS lid that folds in and out of the blade in a flash.
The model is offered in a number of different designs. Two different sizes with two different leaf shapes (with or without thumb-holes), with or without serrated edge and several different colors.
The belt clip is reversible and with the AXIS® cover, it does not matter if you are left-handed or right-handed.
