New Gript blades?

[tgtodd]

Ready for a new Griptilian blade profile? Thoughts?

Time for a update to the fullsize tanto, imo!

I'm getting my first new (to me) 550-1 today. That's new, right? Does that count?

I'd go for something in M4, but I'm digging the existing blade shapes.

I like the drop point and tanto, but what would really be sweet is if they did a limited release or even production of the drop point with the thumb hole. There was a special edition Griptilian back in the early-mid 2000’s like that. A plain edge modified drop point with a thumb hole would be awesome.

The various profiles are fine, the grinds just need to be closer to full flat (maybe not the tanto).

Wharny or false edge Bayonet.

Wharny or false edge Bayonet.

Ooh yeah that would be awesome. Something like one of the Wilkins blade that that maker did a run of.

I like both the 551 & 552 blades.

Does Benchmade offer replacement blades for discontinued models?
(ie. 552 Doug Ritter M390 blades?)

Wharncliffe, that's all I ever want anymore. Ease of sharpening and general utility. I'm not skinning deer daily but I do scrape gaskets, cut wire and zip ties, and open boxes. I just want one major manufacturer to make a 3.5" Wharny. And not the Wharny that Hogue is trying to pass off, that's a damn joke.

Something like the HK 14717 Tanto

Brainstorming... How about a reverse tanto Wharncliffe (saber ground) and also a thumb hole hawk bill?

No Tonto..............
Full flat grinds would be nice, especially for the Mini-Grip, Mini-Freek and valet.
The lack of thin and slicey, is what keeps me away from any more Benchmades.
Benchmade doesn't have to drop other blades but slicey would be a great option.
