All these years I've heard how nice the Griptillian was.  I didn't "see" it.  Boy was I wrong, big time.  Is it the Axis Lock that makes for such a smooth opening knife?

I agree. I think the Grippy is one of those that you have to handle to appreciate. The smooth action comes, I think, from a few factors: 1) the axis lock with it's light spring, 2) the slick bushings Benchmade uses at the pivot, and 3) the nicely finished blades on Benchmades. When it all comes together, it comes together right.  :tu:

It really has such a great feel to it.  If anyone is on the fence I can like many before me, highly suggest a Griptillian.  Even if I am very late to the party.

The Mini Griptillian is the only knife I think I could get worked up about that I haven't already got - looks lovely and by the sounds of it, works lovely too.

I think the simplicity of it threw me off  :dunno:.  The seemingly "cheap" handle as well.  The individual parts just seemed like they were asking a lot for it.  What I have found out is the sum of all parts is what makes it such a nice knife.  The Mini Griptillian is what I have and its just a doggone good knife.  Add in "nicer" steel and it really is a wonderful package.  Mine is 440C and after a re grind to fix some issues and use wear its a real razor.  I'm carrying it for work which means it'll see rubber hose, plastics, some textiles, and various other material.  Its been great.  I strop my blades when I'm relaxing.  This has seem my strop so the bevel is becoming more polished and stays razor sharp.

I won't stand for any more trash talk about the good folks of Mordor, thats for certain. I'm hoping the Mini G comes with it's own name like 'Hobbit Cleaver' or 'Elf Stabber'

Does it zoid, does it?  :pok:
