Benchmade: Mini Griptillian D2

Benchmade knives combine distinctive artisan quality of a custom blade with laser precision to create spacing tolerances as low as .0005″, less than 1/16th the thickness of a human hair. The patented AXIS™ mechanism in the Mini-Griptillian locks the blade in place with incomparable smoothness and unsurpassed stability. Omega-style springs on both sides of the handle secure the locking bar to prevent accidental closing. The D2 Tool steel blade is hardened to 57-60 Rockwell holds a razor-like edge and is treated with a BK1® coating to prevent rust and corrosion. And for a solid grip in wet or dry conditions alike, the palm-contoured handle has a swelled base and molded texture for slip resistance. An ambidextrous thumb stud facilitates fast, one-handed opening. It also has a reversible steel carry clip. Blade length: 2.91″. Closed length: 3.87″. Weight: 2.91 ounces.

    It was really late, any everyone was sleeping. Sometimes with work and family, there’s not much time for Videos if you know what I mean. Just GetRDunn when you can. Thanks for watching.

    Not A, Not B, but C Ya!!!! It’s what I tell my employees when I need them to clock out and go home for the day. Just something I’ve been saying for years.

    Great Review I love knifes like that, but well each knife is made for diferent thing but it should be realy good for edc.

  • By streetmaster63, July 15, 2009 @ 4:39 pm

    Great review. You can email the Benchmade repair dept and request a couple parkerized clips. They’ve sent me 4 or 5 so far, no questions asked. Free of charge! Just tell them your painted ones are getting scratched up and you prefer the parkerized ones, you’ll need to tell the what models you need them for and your mailing address.

  • By thecajunblaze, July 15, 2009 @ 6:12 pm

    Now, I didn’t say that.

  • By turbo311, July 15, 2009 @ 11:02 pm

    Yet another one I need, among other D2 models I need. Get a Mini Barrage it’s the coolest new knife from BM! And if you like the Grip/Mini Grip check out the RSK it’s even better!

  • By lsutigers1010, July 18, 2009 @ 8:48 pm

    hey for the clips all you do is call and they send them to you for free

  • By thecajunblaze, July 18, 2009 @ 8:57 pm

    I will do that, thanks. BTW, great job on the knives. That Microtech slices like butter, well they all do. Thanks!

    That’s a pretty sweet little blade. Great video

  • By biglfan18, September 26, 2009 @ 3:17 pm

    hey man does your lock wobble a little back and forth and cause the lock to catch a tiny bit when you disengage the lock?

  • By thecajunblaze, September 28, 2009 @ 10:26 pm

    I gave this knife away to one of my subscribers. The lock up was solid.

  • By fredde90210, September 30, 2009 @ 5:44 am

    Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet.

  • By 75SilentWarrior, December 29, 2009 @ 12:50 pm

    I wish they made the full size, all black Griptilian, full plain edge.

  • By JSM10069, February 2, 2010 @ 8:45 pm

    I have a pretty big knife collection, and the Mini-Griptilian is the one I carry most. Just love it!
