I love Benchmade knives ( I am even somewhat of a collector (and user, of course) of them).  The griptilian is an excellent knife.  I have never gone wrong with chosing a Benchmade.  Do you have any others?

I just picked up the 555S mini-Griptillian. Same green handle. Sharpest knife that I have ever seen from the box. My first Benchmade. Not my last. :grin:
shot placement is everything.

About a month ago I bought a griptillian Benchmade knife with the sheepsfoot blade no surrations. Great knife, is it true that benchmade will resharpen a knife for free if returned to them.

NRAJOE,

That looks like a sweet knife there. Cant go wrong with the $50 on it.

Any thoughts on the Model BM12550: NRA Hinderer - 8.5" Fixed Blade Hunter?? Maybe this knife rates its own thread tho, as it is a fixed. Perhaps I start one.

BTW, I love that avatar. Laffed at that for almost 5 minutes. Hilarious :mrgreen:
