Description

A Benchmade classic

The Griptilian was born of custom knifemaker Mel Pardue’s passion for functional designs. You release the creature’s ferocity with a thumb stud.

At the very heart of the Griptilian, is the exclusive AXIS locking mechanism. This modern marvel gives life to a cutting tool like you have never experienced before, especially in a lightweight folder. Rock-solid ambidextrous function is sure to tame the most die-hard of traditionalists. You can grab onto the lightweight, handle with its grip-textured surface and rib covered spine that grabs you right back for a “can’t let go” grip.

Production of the original 154CM knife ceased in 2018; replaced by the same style of knife but having a CPM-S30V blade.

Features
  • High Quality: The 154CM stainless steel blade is tough, rust resistant, and holds an edge well. The glass-filled nylon handle is tough yet attractive, making it ideal for hard jobs and everyday carry.
  • Well Designed: Benchmade’s AXIS lock is exceptionally strong and fully ambidextrous. The Mini Griptilian 557 is a manual knife that can be opened and closed single handedly.
  • Comfortable: The 557’s smaller, lighter design and handle grips make it comfortable to hold, use, and take anywhere. The reversible pocket clip offers ultimate accessibility.
  • Versatile: The Mini Griptilian 557’s Tanto blade style is mostly tactical in nature but is versatile enough for everyday use.
