Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The mini gryptilian knife is very well made. The warranty has lifetime service including re-sharpening. I use it daily and it’s so much better than using a kitchen knife on my cardboard packages!

The action is incredibly smooth out of the box. Snappy open/close with smooth action.

The sv30 steel takes and holds a good edge. The serrated blade is ideal for cutting through tough things. Takes a bit longer to sharpen, but benchmade offers free lifetime sharpening.

The locking system on these is the best that i have found. The blade is easily opened with the dual-sided stud. The release always works smoothly and easily.

Cons

Plastic is hard and annoying. Liner was warped. Blade grinds are uneven. Same issue with subcompact handguns.

The mini griptilian is far too small for my taste. First, cheers for amazon’s return policy. Sent back for refund 5 minutes after opening.

Highlights

Quality

Very well made knife that keeps an edge.

Size, ease of use, sharpness / blade quality and design.

I didnt like the bug out, nor my spyerdcos, a few of my kershaw's, zero tolerance knives are ok.

Come on benchmade, with your tools / belts, you should spend another 20 seconds and send js a honed edge.

Price

The price is a tad higher than i wanted to spend for a knife, but you pay for quality!

Price was good for an in-stock quality knife.

Shipping

Shipped fast and received in good condition.

The seller shipped fast and ahead of delivery date and it was packaged nice.

Packaging/appearance

All paperwork and boxes included and sealed.

Competitiveness

I do tend to prefer smaller knives (it makes me more likely to carry them), and this is one of the best small edc knives out there.

Look no further than benchmade, they stand behind their product like an american manufacturer should!

Mine is the 154cm variant, not the s30v which is being sold here.

Once you experience the quality and clever locking button of benchmade, you won't be happy with any other brand.
