The griptilian is basically the flagship knife from benchmade. It is simple yet powerful, which is why it is the highest selling folding knife from benchmade. I wasn't going to get a standard griptilian because of the cheap plastic scales and I didn't really fancy the design. I prefered the spyderco paramilitary 2 for a folding knife in the same price range and steel. The blue and gray g10 scales really make this knife look much better. And the anodised blue stand offs look amazing. The upgrade to a super steel was very appealing. The CPM20CV is comparable to M390 and holds a keen edge after heavy use. The tip of the blade is slightly weak though. I'm not sure if the small fracture line was there from factory, but i only noticed it after cleaning the blade. After carrying the 550-1 for a while, I do still prefer the spyderco paramilitary 2. Only because the spyderco is slimmer and fits nicely out of the way in the pocket.Read full review
