Benchmade Griptillian 20CV
- Like New
- AWT Aluminum Scale Installed (Original Scales will be included)
- Comes with Box
Absolutely NO Trades. CONUS Only.

Something important to note:
- with the G10 Scales installed, there was no side to side play and free-dropping blade action
- with the AWT Scales installed, there is some slight side to side play when you set the action to free drop
- when I tighten the pivot, the blade action stiffens up

NOW: this is my first time disassembling a Benchmade, so I think I may have one of/if not both of the washers facing the wrong side. I was too busy fiddling with trying to get the blade/washers into the pivot assembly.

Update! Appears I had one of the washers flipped the wrong way. Went ahead and flipped it around and the blade is tight with no play, action is snappy. Blade isn't quite the free-dropper with where I have it set, but it's definitely performing as a new Benchmade. Winding out the pivot more, it will free drop but there is the very slightest side to side, but you have to work it.

Would you consider selling the knife with the original scales only and not the aluminum scales ?

I'd be willing to just buy the original G-10 scales from you if you have a buyer interested in just the knife with the AWT scales.

Sorry guys, its all in.

If it doesn't sell by today, just going to keep the knife.
