Product Description

Headline: The 21st century classic. Still the benchmark every other production folder gets measured against.

The Benchmade Griptilian is one of the most influential folding knives in modern EDC history. Designed by Mel Pardue and first released in 2001, the Griptilian set the standard for what a production folder could be: light, strong, ambidextrous, and built to take a real beating. More than two decades and millions of pockets later, it is still in the lineup because it still works better than most of what came after it.

The platform runs on Benchmade's patented AXIS Lock, an ambidextrous spring-loaded crossbar that engages both handle liners. It opens with a flick of the thumb stud and closes one-handed without putting your fingers in the path of the blade. The CPM-S30V blade steel is Crucible's powder-metallurgy stainless, holding an edge longer than the older 154CM that ran in earlier production. The Noryl GTX handle is reinforced with stainless steel liners, giving you a knife that weighs around 4 ounces but feels solid enough to pry with.

The full-size Griptilian carries a 3.45-inch blade on a handle that suits medium to large hands. The Mini Griptilian scales the same platform down to a 2.91-inch blade for tighter pocket carry. Blade shapes include drop point for general utility (551 / 556), sheepsfoot for clean slicing without a piercing tip (550 / 555), and tanto for piercing tougher materials (553 / 557). Reversible tip-up pocket clip works for right or left hand carry.

Every Griptilian is made at Benchmade's facility in Oregon City, Oregon, USA, and backed by Benchmade's LifeSharp service: free sharpening, cleaning, and oil service for the life of the knife. Stop by the shop at 432 E Main St in Montrose to handle one in person and see which configuration fits your pocket.

10/10 Great suit , great price
Size: X-Small, Color: Red, Size: X-Small, Color: Red
Absolutely stunning for the price. Very flexible and good fit. I wish the XS was just a bit smaller but it's good. Middle of the ground with thickness it's not a cheap thing costume feel but it's not your typical heavy suit. Which I much prefer. It's lightweight but not cheap. For the price you can't ask for a better suit. I was thinking it was more of a one time use, but it's a very good long term suit. Feels very well and allows great mobility. I featherweight conceal carry and it's very easy to hide my pistol in the suit because of its flexibility. 10/10 would definitely recommend

Good Suit
Size: X-Small, Color: Black
This suit is pretty nice. The fabric isn't extremely thin and cheap-feeling, and it fits really well. The shipping was really fast too. My son is 5'9" and weighs about 150 lbs. We ordered a medium first, but it was too big, so we returned it and ordered an extra small. The extra small fits perfectly.

It's a fun/unusual color, but not "celery"
Size: Medium, Color: Celery Green, Size: Medium, Color: Celery Green
Can't comment on the fit because we didn't take it out of the bag. I gave it 4 stars because 𝙦𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 of the suit looks really nice through the plackaging, but we didn't open it up and try it on because the color could not be further from what we were expecting. It's actually a really cool and unusual fun fabric, but not really describable as any shade of green which is what I was going for. It's more of a beige tweed whose tiny plaid upon careful examination even has slightly blue threads.. or is that lavender? In fairness to the manufacturer, I tried and tried to get a photo with lighting that accurately represents this fun and unusual color to no avail. For a proper review I guess I should have my son put it on and take a picture in daylight. But they do need to change the color name at least to "champagne tweed" or something. No idea whose job it was to call this color "celery". ;p
