I'm not that lucky of a dude...
I didn't win the lottery the other night so I still have a job and I'm still making these
fucking videos.
But Benchmade did send me a mini griptilian, because I groveled in my Bugout review.
So while I do the dimensions, I'll tell you exactly how to get a free Benchmade.
By the way this is a comparison review like the Mora one.
You're look good Mora comparisons.
Ok so free Benchmade.
First make 8... make that 9 Benchmade reviews, so that's 90 hours of work... now you don't
own all those, you've at least spent I dunno a grand of your own money on them.
Add up your lifetime Google ad sense revenue for all videos that feature Benchmade... that's
$88 bucks Ok so maybe never mind.
Ok, so as you just saw, we got three knives here that most people might consider buying
as an entry level Benchmade, you're like what about the Freek... shut up.
So this video will help confuse you even more, so maybe just buy all of them now, then throw
them off on knife sale in a few weeks when you need money for electricity.
Cool...
But since I've already done a full Bugout and Griptillian review, let's do a closer
look at the mini grip or the 556.
The blade is like a smaller proportioned version of the Benchmade 551 Griptilian.
Meaning that it is a drop point, flat ground, satin finished 154CM even though I called
the 551 a hollow grind in that review so long ago.
I was going through some stuff ok?
154cm is a wonderful steel for me, because it's easy to sharpen, and holds an edge a
decent amount of time.
The haters can just go buy it in 20cm and spend more time at the sharpener- or just
send it back to benchmade who sharpens that shit for free.
Blade centering is actually very good on this, even though you may not believe me.
The blade is deployed by some thumb studs, and locked up with your favorite axis lock.
Axis locks and compression locks are my two favorite locks because Benchmade and Spyderco
paid me a lot of money to say that- but mostly because they're easy to deploy and close one
handed with some flicks.
The axis lock on this one was slightly stiffer than on my bugout... mostly because I hadn't
adjusted the pivot yet but a turn of the pivot gave me the super smoothness clicky clack
of the full sized griptillian, and I've beat the piss out of that one.
The blade needs a flick downward to close out the box, but that microscopic pivot adjustment
smoothed it right up...
Ok so I shot that other stiff before, here's how it is now... it did not affect blade centering
either.
You can also pull the axis back and flick it open...
Just do what you do.
Blade retention when closed is good, but a hard flick can get it to come out fully.
The handle, now I ain't gonna lie- the handle for the original griptillian is a good size
but I don't like the plastic jimping.
Since everyone has opinions, you can take or leave mine.
Rear handle jimping doesn't do much for me...
I like the right kind of spine jimping just fine, but that's about it for me I like a
good nice sized handle in an every day carry... the handle for the Mini Grip is the least
friendly for my hand for a full size knife... but maybe this is the size handle you need.
Inside you have a full nested stainless steel liner.
But as the name implies there's plenty of grippiness on the mini grip.
And the only way you might not like it is if you beat on wood with it... but that's
something only an idiot would do with an every day carry knife.
The pocket clip is nice, it's not deep but nice, you can swap it to the right or left
side tip up only...
It's got the right amount of springiness for me, but
expect it to show some wear like mine is.
Ok, so let's do a comparison here.
And I'll just slightly rearticulate things I have gone over.
The Mini Grip is the smallest knife of the three, but the middle of the pack in weight.
Personally I don't see a whole lot of advantage of a 1.85 ounce over 2.5 ounce knife usually
anything under 4 is fine for me, but 3 and under is awesome you'll forget they're there
if you're used to carrying a heavier knife.
The Mini grip is a nice knife but the handle is a little too small for me.
I don't mind the smaller blade a whole lot.
The Benchmade bugout is the standout because of it's size to weight ratio.
It does not have a full liner, but it's a durable knife if you've seen my review.
It has the right size handle for me- it's all around nice as a light thin knife with
a usable handle that'll disappear in your pocket.
If you needed one knife I would choose that.
The Griptiliian is a nice full sized knife to make you look like a real pro, and if you
have large hands and need the biggest blade go with that... it's still under 4 ounces,
so it ain't bad.
Ok let's wrap it up.
While I
wouldn't ever use my channels video as a guide on how to properly treat a folding knife,
all three of these knives are pretty durable.
The mini grip has smaller proportions than all the rest, so if that's what your into
than thats fine by me.
I like the Bugout slightly more because in my normal every day carry stuff I'm boring,
and I don't often need the largest blade possible- but the Griptilian is fun.
The Mini Grip is that knife but smaller... so if the handle is an ok size for you, or
you need to make a concession on blade size since it's right under 3 inchs thats fine
too.
The blade is still a nice useful size and it deploys quickly.
The Bugout still feels lighter and smaller in the pocket.
