Benchmade, a very well-known US-based knife manufacturer, offers a huge number of products that all make for a great pocket knife. From fixed blades, to automatics, to their signature AXIS-lock manuals, Benchmade’s growing list of options continues to impress. Us at SRKT agree that Benchmade offers one of the largest number of solid everyday carry pocket knives. If you find yourself using your blade multiple times throughout the day, and don’t have a Benchmade yet, you should certainly try one out, as they make a model for everybody.

The Griptilian – many a knife enthusiasts “first everyday carry”, is a favorite EDC worldwide. The Mini Griptilian brings the reliable knife to a smaller and much more lightweight package. Made in the USA as is the case with most-to-all Benchmades, the Mini-Grip features the signature AXIS manual lock with dual thumb studs for incredibly easy one-hand opening for both righties and lefties. The black tip-up pocket clip is reversible too, making it that much more ambidextrous. If you’re looking for a reliable knife to get you through your daily cutting tasks, that is made in the US by a highly-reputable company, without grabbing something too bulky, look no further. This Mini Griptilian 556BK-S30V has upgraded CPM S30V steel on its black finished drop point blade. The handle is made of grivory/polymer, similar to FRN material, and finished solid black. Benchmade’s new take on it's Tactical Mini Griptilian is damn near perfect. All the hardware, besides the AXIS lock, is finished black on this pocket knife. Less than 7” while open, and about 2.5 oz., this slimmed down EDC is sure to impress you if you haven’t tried one yet. The Mini Griptilian is the definition of “versatile functionality”.
