Upcoming Benchmade Mini-Grip or Full Size Griptilian Releases??

#1

Post by Studiousworkman »

Hi everyone,

Since Benchmade removed the Griptilian and Mini Griptilian model from the custom shop, all they seem to offer is the base model of S30V and black grivory.

Does anyone know if Benchmade will release any exclusives through vendors or distributors in different steels and different color combinations of grivory handles in the near future??

Any valid and applicable information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you kindly.

Just a guess , probably the Grip is probably going away in the near future . I think the Bugouts have taken over that slot in their line up and just a matter of time before the Grip is discontinued. MG2

I agree the Griptilian is going away but believe the Redoubt is its replacement.

There’s this Mini Grip at Cabela’s/Bass Pro. They did have the full sized Griptilian for years, too, but it looks like those are gone.

Thanks Pokey and riclaw!

I am curious if they may release a different variation in the near future. Knifecenter had than 20CV and red Grivory version for a while not long ago.

CuttingEdge is the consignment arm of A.G. Russel. I recently ordered from them. Kudos to Sonya for a great transaction and very fast shipping.
