Description
The Benchmade Griptilian 551-ORG-S30V brings the upgraded CPM-S30V generation of the full-size Griptilian to a high-visibility orange Grivory handle. CPM-S30V is a premium American powder steel with excellent corrosion resistance and long edge retention, a clear step up from the classic 154CM models, and the flat-ground modified drop point slices noticeably better than the earlier hollow grinds. The fully ambidextrous AXIS lock with dual thumb studs gives smooth one-hand operation for either hand. Designed by Mel Pardue and made in the USA.
