The Benchmade 551-S30V Griptilian, in a new design, has been equipped with a head made of CPM-S30V steel, widely considered, the best stainless steel on the market.

American CPM-S30V stainless steel

The Benchmade 551-S30V has a utilitarian drop-point blade with a flat grind. The blade is made of American cPM-S30V stainless steel hardened to a hardness of 58-60 HRC.

The shape of the head, the type of grinding and the quality of the steel used make the blade maintain excellent working sharpness for a long time and have outstanding cutting properties. Double-sided pin allows for convenient one-handed blade unfolding for both right- and left-handed people.

A section of the blade's back has been raised and grooved to create a stable point of support for the fingers during precise blade guidance.

Reliable mechanisms

Responsible for the safety of operation is the flagship benchmade mechanism, double-sided Axis-lock, valued for its tremendous mechanical strength, resistance to dirt, and ease of use for right- and left-handed users.

Handle

Liners attached to 420J steel inserts, made of black Noryl GTX material. Non-slip textured handle provides a solid and secure grip on the knife even with a wet hand.

Discreet carrying of the knife in the pocket is provided by a steel clip, with the possibility of switching to the other side.
