Full size Gripitilan

The fat handle not so nice in the pocket, but fills the hand better and is much more comfortable in use. Nice knife!

I usually have a PM2 in front pocket this may hang out in the back pocket.
 
I have the exact same knife, green, black shepsfoot blade and I love it too. It's probably my main EDC at this point. My wife hates it because I flick it open and closed all the time and the sound drives her nuts. So I do it more.
 
I love the griptilian. I've said it before. The 550 had none of the criteria I have for a knife, but when I got it I loved it. No 10's but lots of 8's.

I've switched to G10 scales and love it even more. The stock FRN can take some serious abuse, but the G10 has a better weight and feel. DOAT does great work, the end result was better than factory for fit and alignment


Eventually, I'll finish the polish and tone down the 'satin' grind to a real satin finish.

I love all my knives but this is one were the functionality shines.
 
^^^ Looks fantastic!!! Ryan does excellent work!!
He made me sets for a 940 and a 943.....make awesome knives even awesomer!!!
 
Love it. When I got my 551, about 8 years ago, I was relatively new to knives (I still am, for that matter) and hadn't yet developed my preferences.I ended up getting a spear point, half-serrated. if I had it to do all over again, I'd get the sheepsfoot. It's rapidly become one of my all time favorite blade shapes for folders, and I have come not to like serrations, so it's a no brainer. Your knife is set up exactly how I'd order one if I were getting it today.

You can still get the sheepsfoot. It will only cost you $35+shipping.
Send your grip to BM and they will swap out the blade.
