The **Benchmade Griptilian 551 S30V** is a practical EDC pocket knife, designed by Mel pardue. Ever since its first version many years ago the Benchmade Griptilian is definitely a classic in the knife world. Its ergonomic handle, perfect for both left and right-handed use, combined with different opening mechanisms and blade shapes make the Griptilian a legend in the pocket knife world.

 This Benchmade 551 Griptilian has a droppoint blade. You open it with the double thumb studs after which it is locked by Benchmade's famous Axis-lock. The handle is made from Valox. This is a brand name for a specific type of FRN (glass-reinforced nylon) which feels great in hand, is strong and doesn't weigh too much. In 2019 Benchmade decided to upgrade from 154CM-steel to CPM S30V steel making the Griptilian even better. CPM S30V is one of the few types of steel that is specifically developed for knives. It retains its sharpness well, and is very corrosion resistant.

My first Benchi. Superb blade, very comfortable scales to hold.
Delighted with purchase.Thanks 

bien fini 
belle coupe 
système de blocage apparemment performant
knives and tools : impeccable en livraison et suivi de commande

Er is een reden waarom de Griptilian al zolang een succesverhaal vormt. Zeer goed en degelijk mes, afwerking is top. Het enige minpuntje is dat het mes niet perfect gecenterd is maar totaal geen ramp. Zeer blij mee!

Bewegt sich in der PM2-Klasse, kann aber für mich dem Spyderco nicht ganz das Wasser reichen. Etwas weniger scharf Out of the Box, Klinge etwas weniger leichtgängig, was sich aber problemlos einstellen lässt. Trotzdem ein tolles Messer, welches letztlich auf etwas preiswerter als das PM2 ist.

First Benchmade. First impression was good, sharp out of the box. Smooth action and nice ergonomics. Really like the lock!

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

value_blade_length_edge

The length of the cutting edge is measured from the tip to the start of the edge. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Cutting edge length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_closed_length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).
