TheBenchmade 551-S30V Griptilian , in a new design, has been equipped with a head made of CPM-S30V steel, widely considered, the best stainless steel on the market.
The Benchmade 551-S30V has a usable drop-point blade with a flat grind. The blade is made of American CPM-S30V stainless steel hardened to 58-60 HRC.
The shape of the head, the type of grind and the quality of the steel used make the blade maintain excellent working sharpness for a long time and have outstanding cutting properties. The double-sided peg allows right- and left-handed people to unfold the blade comfortably with one hand.
A section of the blade's back has been raised and grooved, thus creating a stable point of support for the fingers during precise blade guidance.
Benchmade's flagship mechanism, the double-sided Axis-lock, valued for its tremendous mechanical strength, dirt resistance, and ease of use for right- and left-handed users, is responsible for safe operation.
The liners, attached to 420J steel inserts, are made of black Noryl GTX plastic. The non-slip texturing of the handle provides a solid and secure grip on the knife even with a wet hand.
Discreet carrying of the knife in the pocket is ensured by a steel clip, with the possibility of flipping it to the other side.
TheBenchmade 551-S30V Griptilian is a kind of icon among everyday knives, where the manufacturer has placed maximum emphasis on functionality, rugged construction and reliable performance.
