Built around Benchmade's signature AXIS lock and textured handle scales that put the \"grip\" in Griptilian, this is a knife made to be used, not babied. At 3.88 ounces with a thicker, more substantial feel than Benchmade's ultralight folders, the Griptilian sits confidently in hand for harder daily tasks — boxes, rope, food prep, utility cutting — and rides in the pocket with the same ambidextrous clip and one-handed deployment as the rest of Benchmade's modern lineup. Made in Benchmade's Oregon City facility and backed by the LifeSharp lifetime service program, the Griptilian is built for the long haul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- KEY FEATURES PANEL --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-panel key-panel\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-title\"\u003eIconic Everyday Workhorse\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-desc\"\u003eOne of Benchmade's longest-running designs.
