Benchmade 551-S30V Griptilian folding knife

The updated Benchmade 551-S30V Griptilian features a robust design, now equipped with a CPM-S30V steel blade, widely acclaimed as one of the best stainless steels available.

This model boasts a practical drop-point blade with a flat grind, crafted from American CPM-S30V stainless steel hardened to 58-60 HRC. Renowned for its exceptional edge retention and cutting performance, the blade maintains its sharpness over prolonged use. Convenient one-handed blade deployment is facilitated by the double-sided thumb stud, catering to both right- and left-handed users.

Enhancing precision and control, a grooved section along the blade's back provides a stable point of reference for finger placement during intricate tasks. Safety during operation is ensured by Benchmade's flagship Axis-lock mechanism, renowned for its robustness, resistance to debris, and ambidextrous ease of use.

The handle, featuring black Noryl GTX plastic liners with embedded 420J steel inserts, offers a secure grip even in wet conditions, thanks to its textured surface. For discreet pocket carry, a reversible steel clip is provided.

The Benchmade 551-S30V Griptilian epitomizes functionality and durability, making it an iconic choice for everyday carry where reliability and performance are paramount.
