Pictures of well used griptilians! (Full size and mini)

[Nottynuffknives]

So I've searched this and wasnt able to find a thread on this (maybe I didnt look hard enough), but I wanna see some pictures of some well used griptilians and/or mini griptilians! I love coming across pictures of grips that are well used and have scratches, dings, worn off coating, ect. But I dont come across them very often even though I know that there are a ton of people out there who have carried these knives for a long time!

So if you have a picture of your well loved, (maybe even slightly abused? ) griptilian or mini griptilian, then let's see 'em! I just bought my grip so it doesnt have hardly any wear on it, but I know its rude to ask for pictures without providing any so here you go! Once this little guy has started showing some battle scars then I'll be sure to post pictures again!

No. Just an old set that has seen a lot of use. I’m not crazy about tanto blades so I’ve used and abused that knife when I didn’t want to “hurt” any other but it keeps on hanging tough.

I use the 555 more often but have had the 556 longer, it’s seen more outdoor use and freehand sharpening.
And threw in a bugout just because.

Carried this one all day today on an eight mile hike. Though, it has a new blade now. This pic was taken 5 years ago. I purchased it in 2007 or 2008. Griptilian is definitely one of the best pocket knives ever made.

Here's my old griptilian 440 and its replacement an m4 version i got 2 months ago. The 440 has been well used, lost it in the snow for a winter. Daily carried for over ten years. Now i rotate thru many other knives but once is was my only knife.

Have the grips been discontinued? Not sure or if they are just going to get another steel update?

 

[Chalet]

I don't think they've been discontinued completely. I think they are just discontinuing some, like the partially serrated versions and such. Then the steel update from 154cm I think the old ones were clearanced most places.

Griptilians are some of best edc knives,154 from benchmade is good steel,along with d2 and s30v

Wow, that's awesome! Love to hear of people carrying the grip as long as you have. Great pics

So the 440 is the older version of the 550?
That's not a mini grip, hard to tell size from photos here.....
