The Benchmade Griptilian 551SBKORG matches a black-coated 154CM combo edge blade with a high-visibility orange Valox handle, a favorite pairing for hunters, boaters, and anyone who works outdoors where a dropped knife needs to be found fast. The modified drop-point blade cuts cleanly with its plain section while the serrations handle rope, straps, and zip ties. The fully ambidextrous AXIS lock with dual thumb studs gives smooth one-hand operation for either hand. Designed by Mel Pardue and made in the USA.

FAQ – Benchmade Griptilian 551SBKORG
Is Benchmade discontinuing the Griptilian?
The classic 154CM, Valox-handled versions such as the Benchmade Griptilian 551SBKORG are discontinued, and the orange-handle black-blade combination is no longer produced. Benchmade continues the Griptilian family today in CPM-S30V with black Grivory handles.
What is a combo edge?
A combo edge pairs a plain section toward the tip with serrations near the handle. On the Benchmade Griptilian 551SBKORG, the plain portion makes precise slices while the serrated portion saws through tough fibrous materials.
Does Benchmade sharpen the Griptilian 551SBKORG for free?
Yes. Benchmade's LifeSharp service re-sharpens and tunes the Benchmade Griptilian 551SBKORG for the life of the knife, including factory service for the serrated section.
Where is the Griptilian 551SBKORG made?
The Benchmade Griptilian 551SBKORG is made in the USA at Benchmade's Oregon City, Oregon facility.
