Benchmade 551-1701 Griptilian DLT Trading Exlcusive

i want one! im not a fan of benchmade F&F issues but for this ill take the gamble.

i assume its a bit heavier due to brass standoffs also. but honestly if you want a lighter one you just get the plastic version, as they mentioned in there video this gives it more solid feel to it while still staying plenty light for its size.
 
It's a hard choice to make between the 551-1701 and KSF's 908-1501. They both look like amazing knives.
 
Are you guys checking them for centering, blade play, etc. in the shop before sending them out?
 
Count me 100% in for a mini. I'm still 50/50 on this...have so many knives in the 551 size range..including 551s
 
As I predicted, I weakened and ordered one on Saturday. I agree that a mini version would be great!

I forgot to ask for an inspection in the order instructions, so I just called and left a message requesting one. I feel confident DLT will take care of me if I'm not happy.

I recently got the Knifeworks exclusive Grip and it is awesome. Lots of great Benchmades coming out lately!
 
To whomever gets one, let us know how you like it!

I'm really curious to know what the carbon fiber feels like, almost looks to me like the stuff on the 940-1(which is a very good thing).
 
I ordered mine on Friday evening and it arrived today (Monday). That's just nothing short of spectacular as far as I'm concerned. I'd have been happy receiving it by Wednesday.

I ordered the black coated blade model and couldn't be happier. DLT and Benchmade score a grand slam on this exclusive.
 
Well I received mine today and it's very nice, smooth and very well done. Super solid and ff is great! I also had a super awesome fathers day surprise and my two boys got me a rift! I never get knives for gifts other than for myself. Never would have considered it but I really dig it especially being its from my kids. Still can't believe my tight wod wife bought a 170 dollar knife for my kids to gift me! Lol.

PM me your order number and I'll inspect it personally. Edit: If you ordered Saturday it likely would have gone out yesterday, but I inspected most of the Grips that went out, I probably looked at yours.
 
Thank you, Jordan, I appreciate it! Looking forward to getting it soon, the carbon fiber looks just fantastic.
 
Jordan, the promise of inspecting a knife before it goes out is simply good business. Thanks for the extra effort which will come back atcha in good ways! :thumbsup:
