Hey guys, I haven't posted on the forum in a long time, but found a good excuse: got me a brand spankin' new Benchmade Griptilian. My very first one - yay! So far I'm impressed with this knife, although I haven't put it up to any major hard tasks yet. I really like the light weight and ergonomics combined with the Axis lock. Seems like it will be an excellent EDC choice. I ended up getting the 551SBK model for no other reason than it was a good deal (I think) at $40 plus $5.95 shipping off ebay. Looking forward to putting this thing through its paces.

Of course, no "new knife" post would be complete without the obligatory picture.....

Congrats on your purchase, its an excellent knife. I love the ergonomics and light weight as well.
 
Congratulations on your purchase. It's still one of my all time favorite EDC knives.
 
Very nice! Out of all the knives I own, I still have yet to get myself a griptilian. Hope you enjoy yours!
 
blade_scrounger -- Great choice! I have a similar model (551 BKODD2), and I REALLY like it. I have also had very good experience with Benchmade's Customer Service and their LifeSharp service.
 
Going on a year with my orange handled Grip. It has served me well in the outdoors and on hunting trips. You got a heck of a good price, too!
