Man you can just never go wrong with a grip. One of my all time favorites.

Same here. I have plenty of titanium , G10 and CF knives but I always go back to my Griptilian. I carry my orange one almost everyday. I love everything about it.

You'll get no argument from me on Grips being excellent EDCs, says the man who has owned 8 and still has 6. I do have an issue with the stock Noryl handles, though, as I find the plastic jimping very uncomfortable in hand. Of the eight, three wore Igorded scales, four Wilkins, and one is stock, though it's a 551-1702 KW exclusive in black paper Micarta. I sold two of the Igordeds--a matched 550B/555B pair in orange sculpted G10s--as they were really too pretty to carry, use, and mark up, but the others all get fairly regular turns in pocket, considering how many knives I've managed to accumulate over the years.

Anyway, all this Grip talk got me to pocket one of mine today--the 550 in 154CM with Wilkins (Wednesday) flamed Ti scales and Kevin's bright deep-carry clip. It's a bit blingy for me, but is one I still enjoy carrying and using.

Feeling Squidy today.

Always liked the Burnley Squid as a design exercise. Problem was the Squid 1 was more design exercise than usable knife. Lucas Burnley fixed that with the Squid 2.

From Junk Steel (8Cr13MoV) to Legit Super Steel (M390)
From "toy" size to a nice usable EDC size (same size as a Civivi Elementum)
From steel body construction to titanium construction
From unusable thumb studs to perfect deployment via thumb studs
From crap level fit and finish to excellent fit and finish overall

I'm really pleased with this knife.

Very nice. I’ve also been looking at the Hogue Ritter RSK at KW which resembles a Griptilian very much. I want it.
