joined the benchmade club today

Hi, first time posting in here, usually post in the Buck forum. But today I picked up my first Benchmade knife a Grip h2o. Was picking between this and the Spyderco Salt, but just cant get over the price you pay for a Salt for some less than stellar grips. Hopefully I can get offshore fishing one day and soon and try it out.

Welcome and nice knife. That's going to be easy to spot if dropped on the deck!

Welcome to the fold.

Welcome... You picked a great one to start out with. I know many consider the Griptilian to be an " entry level " BM, but I have never looked at them that way.
Personally, I think it is one the best designed folders BM has ever made.

Great choice. Welcome. It wont be your last. Don't know if you've discovered the "Custom Shop"..Grips, and I think BM has added Barrage's..

Thanks all. The Axis lock is kinda fun to play compared to others. I was thinking considering the use the knife is aimed at, someone should make scales that make the knife float if fallen overboard.

Welcome aboard.
The axis lock is not only fun but extremely effective. Fast almost as an auto yet sturdy and reliable.
Yes, funny
