Hi all, Is my Benchmade Griptilian Real?

[BMloyalist]

Hi all. I just bought a mini griptilian in 154cm off eBay for my girlfriend since she'd recently lost her knife.

But... This one feels heavier than the last one and the action is stiff when tightened to the point of no blade play (very stiff but smooth). I don't have the box and tried comparing online but it looks pretty on point. The mini grip she has weighs 2.7 ounces.

I know buying on eBay is always a gamble so I'll post some pics below. What do you guys think?

Also bear with me, it's my first time posting here

Looks real to me, doesn't have any of the tell tale signs of fake Mini Grips. There seems to be some gunk at the pivot area though, try removing the male pivot screw and clean it up.

Looks real to me, Pretty well used though could use some cleanup.

If that's not real its an exceptionally good copy.... very well used though. Maybe send it back to BM for a bit of rehab? Lifesharp guarantee and all.
