Benchmade Mini Griptilian 556 – Compact 154CM Drop Point AXIS Folder
The Benchmade Mini Griptilian 556 shrinks the legendary Griptilian formula down to a 2.91" everyday carry folder. A satin finished 154CM stainless drop point opens with ambidextrous thumb studs, and the AXIS lock closes one handed without your fingers ever crossing the edge. Textured black Valox scales over 420J stainless liners keep the whole knife at just 2.56 oz. This 154CM Valox generation is out of production, making it a sought after pickup for Griptilian fans.
