orange Benchmade Grip

[silenthunterstudios]

Just ordered the 2009 Benchmade catalog, and heard about orange Griptilians. Anyone got a pic? Model number 551ORG. Thanks.

I expect it'll be easier to see .

Well there's another knife for my 2009 list. There was a guy making custom orange scales for the grip, but they were like twice as much as the knife, which didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. I'm glad that BM went ahead and made one themselves though. I'm excited.

Just one from the catalog, I am fired up! This is a Grip' I've been waiting for!

I'm pretty sure it's only available in the mini at present.

Nope, the only factory orange one, is this new 551-ORG which is a full size Grip'.

There has never been a factory orange Grip' before, full or mini.

Kevin Wilkins has been making orange G-10 replacement handles, the ones cmdionne mentioned, for full size Grips' for awhile now, and is getting ready to release some for 555 Mini-Grips' soon. (I like his stuff, but the price is )

Cool! Just downloaded the 2009 catalog as a PDF. Some great looking new folders. An orange grip. Holy crap! That goes on the list!

Do not own a Benchmade at this time but the Orange one may be the 1st.

I'm kinda digging the new Nimravus Cub II!

I really wish they would make an orange 550. I love the more sheepsfoot blade shape, and the spyderco style hole in the blade for opening.

When I got the RSK 3, I immediately PM'd Critter and asked about a fb Grip the size of the regular 551.

The hard part for me, will be not getting 2 orange ones, so I can swap handles with my Ritter RSK.

Blaze Orange Ritter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree. That's why I splurged on some Wilkins griptillians for a black bladed one. One of my faves now.

That looks SWEET!!!

I've heard those grips are great.

For their price they should be. I really wish that I could let myself spend that kind of money on knife grips, but I really can't.

I am surprised that Aeromedix/Ritter/Benchmade have not produced an orange Ritter, hopefully that will be next on their list.
