The **Benchmade Mini-Griptilian 556 S30V** is a practical EDC pocket knife, designed by Mel pardue. Ever since its first version many years ago the Benchmade Griptilian is definitely a classic in the knife world. Its ergonomic handle, perfect for both left and right-handed use, combined with different opening mechanisms and blade shapes make the Griptilian a legend in the pocket knife world.

 This Benchmade 556 Mini-Griptilian has a droppoint blade. You open it with the double thumb studs after which it is locked by Benchmade's famous Axis-lock. The handle is made from Valox. This is a brand name for a specific type of FRN (glass-reinforced nylon) which feels great in hand, is strong and doesn't weigh too much. In 2019 Benchmade decided to upgrade from 154CM-steel to CPM S30V steel making the Mini-Griptilian even better. CPM S30V is one of the few types of steel that is specifically developed for knives. It retains its sharpness well, and is very corrosion resistant.

Erstaunlich ist bei diesem Mini im Gegensatz zu manch anderem Benchmade Mini (Osborn, Bugout..) das Mini nicht als zu klein spürbar.
Größe ist hier noch optimal.
Also Kleiner aber immer noch Super!!

Top mes. Klein genoeg om elke dag bij je te hebben, maar toch ook het gevoel van een heavy duty mes.
Ligt waanzinnig in de hand.

I didn’t just want to write a review because the Benchmade Mini-Griptilian 556-S30V is one of the best in my collection- after several uses it the swivel action to open and the lock pin to close are flawless! It’s become my everyday cable tool knife it’s brilliant!

Also wanted to make the effort to review because the service and customer service from Knives and Tools was just fantastic - highly recommend company and I will be using them again for sure 👍 

Magnifique couteau disign, bien présenté, comme d'habitude sur votre site, me convient parfaitement . merci
A+ pour de nouveaux achats.

De mini Griptilian heb ik gekocht omdat ik graag een EDC wilde uit het wat duurdere segment (E 100,- plus), dit om zelf het verschil met EDC zakmessen tot +\- E 50,- te kunnen onderzoeken. Mijn indruk:: De kwaliteit van het staal en de axis lock zijn significant beter dan bij mijn andere zakmessen (Crkt, Kershaw). De afwerking is vergelijkbaar. Goede aankoop, ik ben tevreden !

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

value_blade_length_edge

The length of the cutting edge is measured from the tip to the start of the edge. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Cutting edge length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_closed_length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).
