Benchmade Griptilian 551BKORG – Black 154CM Blade, Orange Handle
The Benchmade Griptilian 551BKORG is the full-size Griptilian 551 with a BK1 black-coated 154CM drop point blade over a high-visibility orange Noryl GTX handle. In the model number, BK refers to the black blade coating and ORG to the orange handle color, so this is a black blade on an orange handle. The Mel Pardue design, ambidextrous AXIS lock, and dual thumb studs made the 551 a benchmark EDC folder, and the orange handle makes this discontinued version easy to spot in a pack or on a workbench.
