The Benchmade Griptilian is a knife that hardly needs an introduction. It has become such an integral part of knife culture that even individuals who aren't necessarily knife enthusiasts are likely familiar with the Benchmade Griptilian. For many, it serves as their first, and sometimes only, "good" knife purchase. What sets it apart is its simplicity and exceptional execution.

Designed by Mel Pardue, the Griptilian and Mini-Griptilian models have been stalwarts of the Benchmade lineup for years. They come in two sizes, with the mini sporting a 74mm blade and the regular having an 87.5mm blade. They also offer a wide range of materials and blade shapes, but all Griptilian family knives share the same fundamental handle shape. This includes a rounded spine and a swell toward the rear of the handle with handles contoured in an organic manner that makes the knife feel incredibly natural in your hand. The appeal of the Griptilian lies in its lack of odd angles or unusual shapes; it's a design that feels comfortable to anyone who uses it.

All Griptilians feature the Axis Lock, which is superbly suited for this application. It provides smooth deployment and closing, secure lockup, and complete ambidextrous functionality. The pocket clip allows for tip-up, right or left-hand carry. The standard Griptilian comes with handles made of glass-filled Noryl GTX, a hardened plastic with molded texturing for improved grip.
