Picked up some G-10 scales for my Griptilian. Love this honeycomb pattern.

That's so super cool! Are those factory?

Sorry I missed this, but zoidberg beat me to providing the link.

I want to show my Benchmade too

but I guess need one. I've been very keen on the 940 and 470-1 but goodness those prices.

The griptillions dont do it for me looks wise for some reason tho I'm sure in had they are wonderful.

I want a Griptillian someday. I happen to like the looks of them. As for the few I own, I really like the 943 the best

I like the looks of the Griptilian, but got the G-10 scales to make it unique and kind of "my own". Something I've taken akin to lately, which unfortunately just makes things more expensive. For the price of my Griptilian + G-10 scales, I could've gotten several other things in their place.

My next knife is a Spyderco though. Just got to pay off some CC debt.

I was contemplating a Benchmade 710, but dollar for dollar, I find the Manix 2 to be so much more knife at a better value.

Plus, it gets me venturing into other brands.

I do not care what mall ninja reviews say about this knife. (weak liner lock, no jimping, lack of traction, tip down only etc....)
It is a large elegant EDC knife for me.

Can someone check their pocket clip on a Griptillian and see if it is the same. Thanks.

Here are mine. I think they are ugly knives, but they are part of my collection!

I wish this one was up to par and I did not have to return it.

The Rift? Ugly? Surely you jest.

The blade was so off center it was touching the scale and the laser etching was supposed to be silver not that weird gold color. For what I paid it should of been perfect. This was after I had to return my other Griptilian for coming with a very off center blade.

That is disheartening I hope to eventually own one one day.

A Griptilian specifically or a custom Griptilian? Or just a Benchmade in general?

The two I hope to own are a Rift and a Mini Grip with the sheepsfoot. But they come at a premium and I will probably never own a Rift.

Benchmade 915BK Triage.

Probably my favourite Benchmade model.

This is a new acquisition and has grippier G10 than my original run orange handled one.

The Minigrip with sheepsfoot is the same price as all the others. Blade coating not in mind.

Giving this guy a go for $15.

I know it's not perfect fit and finish like a $100 Benchmade and it's a Big5 exclusive but still not bad. Figured I'd thrash on it and report back.
