Benchmade Griptilian : BM-551BKODD2
This is a short video I made of me just messing around with my Benchmade model 551 griptilian…I am just shaving some bark off of a twig, the video is more or less just suppose to show a size comparison in the hand of the full size griptilian model, and to also show how easy it is to use the axis lock on this model…its quick and easy…The fullsize model has a 3.45″ blade, in this case it is a black coated D2 blade, I normally do not liked any coating on ym knife blades but it helps to protect the D2 from corrosion as it is not a stainless steel, and it seems to have keep pretty good with use, it has not worn that bad yet, I have been using this knife for average cutting tasks for about 6 months now…The model is a BM-551BKODD2, the 551 stands for the full size griptilian with a thumbstud, the BM stands for benchmade, the BK stands for black as in black blade, the OD stands for OD green for the handle, and the D2 stands for the D2 blade…

beautiful land… where are you?
By astinos23, June 27, 2008 @ 3:44 pm
pretty area, boy if you were stranded on an island with that knife, you could have an arsenal of spears and knives and everything. thats a good knife.
By cutlerylover, June 28, 2008 @ 8:38 am
Yeah it is VERY popular and for good reason…people love the Benchmade Axis Lock as well as the sort of oversixed grip the handle offers…

nice place, nice knife. how much does one of these go for? estimated?
By cutlerylover, July 13, 2008 @ 11:42 am
estimated price is $65 for average models, this one with the D2 blade was a special run for cabellas and sold for $80…the average BM grip has 154cm, the OLD versions had 440C…

By balisongman07, March 13, 2009 @ 2:39 pm
that’d be one hell of a trip, there’d be Benchmades flying around, CR’s DR’s we’d have a bonfire melting pot metal CCCs lol, it would be awesome, and we bring a new guy who asks plainly, does anyone have a knife? (clicking sounds come from all directions)
By cutlerylover, March 13, 2009 @ 2:55 pm

How long did it take to break in the axis lock?
By pitcrewskate, November 3, 2009 @ 9:57 am
it usually doesnt need breaking in

@balisongman07 Too much testosterone for one camp ground
By balisongman07, January 11, 2010 @ 9:05 am
@theone2088 Naw not really. Cutlery Lover isnt a guy with a huge ego, he’s actually very open to opinion and usually says he may not be completely right. Nate3993 is an old friend of mine and is the Same way, Nut’n fancy seems pretty open too, as does JulianH21, Loosey and so many others.
By theone2088, January 11, 2010 @ 9:06 am
@balisongman07 Oh I didn’t mean my comment in a bad way. Just a lot of manly men.
By balisongman07, January 11, 2010 @ 11:12 am
@theone2088 lol well if it ever could happen, i would hope to see you there as well
