Opinions on Benchmade Griptillion 555
on: October 10, 2018, 03:49:50 AM
Buddy at work has one. All black with half serrated blade. Seems like a quality knife. He has had it for some time and it looks nice with the wear it has.

Been kicking around the thought of getting one. Or one similar. Don’t really want the serrated blade. Not sure if they make a 555 in all black with a PE blade.

Those of you with experience with the model, what’s the good n bad?

At $99 on eBay, they’re certainly not cheap!

I have carried and used a full size Grip as well as the newer G10 mini; really well put together and practical.
These are some of the best EDC tools money can buy.

They can sound plastic and hollow at times but there is no impact on the performance or quality.
154CM is a great middle of the road steel. It seems to do everything acceptably.

The model you are after is the 555BKHG

I have a plain edge mini grip, the 556 with the thumb stud.
It was a random buy many years ago and after just a couple days of use I was happy.

The 555HG and more recently the 555-1 are way up there on my wants list.
Unfortunately the prices here keep them out of reach.

Did try the full sized grip but didn't like how the half length liners felt.
