It weighs about as much as I thought it would weigh and is easily every day carry-able, however it is slightly heavier than previous edc knives I've owned. The locking mechanism is ingenious and unique to Benchmade (as far as I know). Works like a dream; it is a simple, elegant solution to locking and unlocking the blade.
The knife comes with a standard pocket clip to where 3/4" of knife is sticking out of your pocket. I asked online (BM) how I could get a deep carry clip and they are sending me one for FREE. Benchmade is a quality company who takes care of their customers. I would recommend the company to anyone. Even if you don't buy this particular knife, you should buy a Benchmade knife. Well worth the cost in quality and customer satisfaction.
The pocket clip is on such that the blade points upward and opens into the side of your pants. This was strange to me at first, however it is better. This prevents the knife from ever opening in your pocket assuming you carry sensibly on the outside edge of your right pocket. Safety first! Pulling the knife is a different motion than I am used to, but also better - it is now in a preparatory state to flick open. Smart!
The Griptilian is a great knife and I love it. It comes shipped to you in a nice blue box and the knife itself will be in a slipcase pouch with the Benchmade logo on it. It has a limited lifetime warranty and comes very sharp straight out of the box. However, if you ever need it sharpened, you can send it to Benchmade and have it sharpened for free. I'm very satisfied with my new Griptilian and I look forward to carrying it with me and using it whenever I need it.
left it in my pocket by accident while surf fishing with exposure to saltwater at least 30min to an hour before realizing. thought it was wrecked but rinsed it immediately and cleaned it when I got home....no corrosion or water spots....upgraded to 5 stars
Also some of these reviews amuse me.. Its been months with no need to sharpen. Dull while in pocket? unlikely. unless u are sculpting stone and put a not needed bad second sharpening job on it...nope, and g10 is overrated, adds to weight.
Have been looking to get a new edc and jumped on this one when the price was right:
- the blade itself is where it counts, s30v steel is my new standard, cuts everything like a razor with a smooth satin finish and very strong will hold an edge well.
- fan of the locking mechanism and the pivot is very smooth with easy fine tuning of tension with the right sized torx.
- design of the scales is good with exposed steel liner on distal grip points and design of the inside avoids the dreaded rivet divot on the blade so many of my prev edcs have
- I agree that the glass reinforced nylon scales material choice feels cheap at first, but you get over it quickly and no, the 2 rough spots on the base of handle is not damage as another reviewer thought but
just injection molding points that could be better refined before shipment
liked it so much also got its little brother for travel to counties/cities where less than 3in blades is law. still fits my l to xl hands ok but this one is perfectly sized
I'll probably still have this knife when I'm an old man.

Filo y las devolvieron como nuevas, he usado l marca desde hace tiempo y son de calidad y de durabilidad indiscutible
切れ味が箱出しでもうスパスパです(`・ω・')
少し気になるのは、新品だからしょうがないですが
ブレードの展開がちょっと硬いので、少し緩めないとサムスタッドの親指展開は少し厳しそう!
なんだかんだ欲しくなり購入しましたが、
相変わらず良い動き、ハンドルの握りやすさ、
扱いやすさなかなか良い一本だと思う
サムホールの方のを買ったときよりかなり値段が上がっていたが値段のわりに刃の切れ味は残念だった。
研げば良いが箱だしの切れ味って結構重要だと思う。
確かに商品説明には直刃とかいてありますが紛らわしいので訂正をお願いします。
ナイフ自体は大変良い物で楽しみにしていただけに非常に残念です。
