New Griptillian's in Build It Program

Smooth_Operater · May 27, 2016

Playing around on benchmade.com and noticed that they have g-10 scales and m-4 and 20cv (i think that's the name) for blade types along with the old style. The prices are kind of high though. Any one bought one and have some pictures?

Pretty cool, a bit pricey but now with M4, 20CV and G-10 handles a great upgrade. This is very new, first I have heard of it.

Price seems to be close enough to other LE Grips like the '13 Shot Show. I'm guessing the Camp Perry and the REI also went for about the same price tag, since they were also using G10 and premium steels.

I have Frankengrips:
M390 Ritter with the new g10

20CV 550 with Camp Perry g10

The new g10 is nice and the 20CV is sharp as hell.

Looks like the G-10 is available in three colors and four different textures. One very similar to those Camp Perry handles.

Nfd538 - that doug ritter with the g10 is very nice! The ritter blade is my favorite followed close by the sheepsfoot.

That Ritter has been through many scales finally settling in on those grey g10.

The REI 551 with G-10/S30V retailed for $175.00

I wouldn't mind a Forrest green G-10 and coated M4 Large Grip! It looks good in the sheepsfoot blade shape too. Pretty darn pricey though.

Only looks like black, sand and grey G-10.

I saw they updated the website. Just ordered my gf a purple 550 with a coated D2 blade. The G-10 option is a bit high though. I spent about $160. Overall happy with the price. Now I wait for the postman......

Billym - I actually built one earlier with the Forrest Green, maybe they removed it

I just saw that the Barrage can also be done in G10 and CPM 20CV. Now that one is expensive.

T.K.C. · May 28, 2016

I would love a forrest green Mini Grip with CPM-20CV!

Now I have to decide if I want that KSF Exclusive Stryker, or if I want to build a Grip with an M4 blade. Decisions, decision..

jazub · May 28, 2016

Wow, this is a surprisingly cool turn of events. My black/black G10 Mini Grip can become a reality now. Sick.

Why do I click on these threads....

Interesting. Very interesting indeed.

My thoughts as well

mjpgolf1 · May 28, 2016

I like the idea but don't like the prices at all of these. Benchmade is getting a bit out of control on this one.

I vote for the Stryker, though I do love my Rittilkins in M390!
