Benchmade Griptilian Knife

The Benchmade Griptilian Knife line stands out as one of the bestselling manual folders available.  The Griptilian features Valox handles with 420J stainless steel liners.  This gives them strength as well as makes them incredibly light for every day carry.  You can get the handles in a variety of colors including, black, olive drab, and sand. 
The blade, available in black or satin finishes and with or without serrations, is built from 154CM stainless steel.  Between the different model numbers of the Griptilian, you can get the blade with a tanto point, a drop point, or a sheepsfoot configuration.  The 154CM steel makes the Griptilian an amazingly tough knife that can cut through nearly any job with ease and the blade stays sharp longer. 
I especially like the AXIS lock system.  When you open the blade and get it to the locked position, the AXIS lock system keeps the blade in the open position so it won’t close down on your hand at the most inopportune moments.  Built solid to endure, the Benchmade Griptilian is a great manual folder if you are looking.
