Frequently Asked Questions
What is a sheepsfoot blade good for?
A sheepsfoot blade has a straight cutting edge and a blunted tip, which makes it ideal for controlled utility cuts with less risk of accidental punctures. The Benchmade Mini Griptilian 555HGYEL uses a modified sheepsfoot profile that keeps that control in a compact EDC folder.
Why is the Benchmade Griptilian so popular?
The Griptilian family earned its reputation on the AXIS lock, grippy Valox handles, and everyday-friendly blade shapes. The Benchmade Mini Griptilian 555HGYEL brings all of that in a compact 2.91" format, with a yellow handle you will not lose track of.
Is Benchmade discontinuing the Griptilian?
The Griptilian line continues, but this 154CM generation is out of production. The Benchmade Mini Griptilian 555HGYEL is discontinued, and current Mini Griptilian production uses CPM-S30V blades with black Grivory handles.
