Going to get a custom Benchmade Griptilian, Tan/Black handle, Black Blade, Silver Axis and Liner, Black Screws and Black Arrow Pocket Clip, but one thing, havent decided on the blade shape. of the three available, Sheepsfoot/Hole, Tanto/Stud and Drop Point/Stud which blade shape do you like better and why?
 
My griptilian is the sheepsfoot and i love it. I got kind of sick of the studs on the knives, and personally think the hole is a little cleaner looking.
 
I like the drop point/ thumb stud blade best. I think the drop point has a pointer tip and the thumb studs open the knife faster for me. Im sure alot of people will disagree with that but its just the way the knife feels and the way my hand operates.
 
I like Drop Point thumb stud. Not a fan of the other two, mostly due to preference, no other real reason. I also replaced the thumb stud on my organ grip 551 with a different one that I find more comfortable than the barrel shaped ones that BM issues. Nice upgrade for a couple of bucks.

It unscrews with the torx head screw. Bought one that's more conical in shape, put it on the right side with a small screw on the left side. There are many styles of thumbstuds to choose from out there. Also, in my original thread, I meant to say "orange 551" instead of "organ". :)
