Like the title says my 551 griptilian has no text but the benchmade logo. I have other grips with more writing. I got the griptilian from Knifeworks.com. I wanted to know what you guys think of it.
 
I thought all newer grips came with steel, model, and patent stamps. Maybe it's a really old one. Do you know what steel it is?

I've bought new Grips' in the last month that had all the proper stuff on them, so it's probably a factory "ooops".
 
If you got it from Knifeworks, it is the real deal. Prob a factory oops. If you want the writing I am sure Knifeworks or BM will be happy to replace it.
 
Pics?

Probably a factory mistake.

Keep it many people dislike a lot of writing on their blades.
