Very happy to see a new G10 Grip!!!!

Here is a crappy pic I took right after I got the knife. I was waiting at the DMV; my teen got her permit today. Mike's already seen this one as I shot a text as soon as I got it.

The blue is something that doesn't really bother me but I wouldn't miss it if it were gone. The knife is very well done. The Griptilian is a great knife the way it was but this one just put it over the top. I love the feel of the G10, super smooth, no blade play, and the edge looks almost polished. I believe this one is here to stay; we shall see.

Looks good Cody :thumbup: Congrats to your daughter on getting her permit :thumbup:

My 556-1 was delivered late today. I tried taking pictures inside the house, but they turned out really crappy. I sent one to Cody, but I should have waited until tomorrow lol...

They did a nice job on it. Blade is smooth, it will almost fall closed on its own, no movement, and perfectly centered...
The grind is even, but it is a little rough. It is sharp though. The finish reminds me of my S30V from the custom build.

Phone is charging. I will hit you back soon! I know what you mean about the pics. I sent you a couple of it closed that were pretty bad.

I may have to get a 556-1...
 
These are looking great, guys! Dang it, Mel Pardue, as if I haven't spent enough $ lately!

ETA: 555-1 on pre-order!

WANT!
seriously, this might be the package i have been waiting for on a grip. sure beats the cost of getting a upgraded (steel wise) grip and aftermarket scales from the states. seems to start being available over here as well.
 
The pictures I posted earlier were driving me nuts, so I took some more. These came out a little better...

Wow, the G10 looks awesome in this pic. Not sure whether to go with a full size or mini with this one.

Yea, I am more impressed with it everytime I take it out of the pocket. Homerun Benchmade!

Got some quick pics... The pictures looked better when I was taking them, but you get the idea :D
The grey G-10 is actually a little darker than it shows in the pictures. I really like the combination...

It looks great Mike! Really makes me want to get a matching little brother. :)

Looks great! Damn it my wallet is hurting. Just got dinged for the Team Gemini BG this morning and bought a North Arms paring knife last night. :(

Absolutely. They did a great job on these... I think a little brother is a great idea :D

I took some better pictures, and replaced the crappy ones I posted earlier, so hopefully these will help you decide :D
 
I have a question and I apologize in advance if it's already been answered... The deep carry pocket clip, is it the usual painted variety or is it black oxide-coated?
 
Boo hiss. I like the old school 3-screw black oxide clips anyway due to the tensioning adjustment ease. Wouldn't take me but a minute to fix on this model.
 
I'm placing an order soon for both the full size and mini but I don't want to have the first production marks on either. Should I wait a bit to place an order or would it be okay to place the order now?

My 551-1 came from KSF and had no writing on the blade.
