What's not to like about the Benchmade Griptilian? Not much. At a reasonable 3.8 oz it's a lot knife. A perfectly shaped 154CM 3.45" blade, solid lockup (no wiggle at all), wicked fast deployment, comfortable grip with adequate traction, a good pocket clip, and strong Axis lock make the Grip a benchmark knife. Minor downsides might be the handle which is a bit thick and the rounded off thumb jimping (copy Spyderco Benchmade!). Also it would be nice if BM offered the special finishes of this knife in plain edge versions NOT the combo edges. Plain edge versions on most knives always sell better so I don't their strategy. The Grip is kind of on the pricey side, for a Zytel handled knife (but some cost may be due to 154CM blade) but it's still a great choice for cops, troopers, soldiers, and civilians alike, ready to serve for EDC or emergency defensive tasks. Great blade.
