The Benchmade Griptilian 551ORG pairs the classic full-size Griptilian platform with a high-visibility orange Valox handle that is easy to spot in a pack, on a bench, or in the field. The satin 154CM modified drop-point blade is a proven all-purpose cutter, and the fully ambidextrous AXIS lock with dual thumb studs makes one-hand opening natural for left and right handers alike. Designed by Mel Pardue and built in the USA, this is the same hard-working design that made the 551 one of the most popular EDC knives ever made.

Why is the Benchmade Griptilian so popular?
The Benchmade Griptilian 551ORG combines a grippy, lightweight handle, a do-anything drop-point blade, and the smooth ambidextrous AXIS lock at a working-knife price, a formula that made the Griptilian a staple recommendation for first Benchmades and daily carry for over two decades.
