SHARE YOUR BENCHMADES

Well I brought back up this post because when I first got my Benchmade Mini Griptilian I was not impressed with it and I posted it that way. Now I have carried it a few days and used it a good bit and boy did I have a change of heart. I absoloutley love this knife and am very happy and glad I bought it. I like it so much that I will be making it my EDC I had heard many good things about it and thats why I bought one and let me tell you it lives up to its name!

Gino, I also really like my mini griptilian. It is not the fanciest looking knife, but for a utility knife for work purposes I really like it. I carry only slip joints when in the city but when heading out into the field I usually put my mini grip into my pocket, along with a slip joint of course.

Same here Dan, I also carry my GEC Dogleg slipjoint but that Mini Grip is sweet to have with you. I am really liking it.

After a month or so of EDCing my Benchmade mini griptilian the finish on the clip is really wearing off (it comes stock with the painted black clip). I called benchmade and they were awesome, they are sending me 2 different clips free of charge. They gave me the choice of sending the knife to them or them sending the clips to me. Great customer service.

Thats way cool of them, Gino.

[gino]

Yeah, they gave me my choice of which style I wanted then told me they would send one of each color, silver & black. The black one they are sending is not painted but solid through (I cant remember the material name).

[johnnierotten]

Sounds like great customer service. ....hard to come by these days.

Once you get it and have a chance to familiarize yourself with it, please let me know what you think of it.

I like the looks of that Gino! I know nothing about Benchmade's other than they're top shelf stuff. But I handled a plain ol full size Griptillian in the store the other day and have decided one will come home with me as soon as I find a good gently used one.

I'm interested to hear what you think of the 710 who you get it.

Here is a video on the 710, I think it persuaded me in buying it

It's a good thing I didn't have my billfold on me here in the easy chair. After watching that I'd a pulled out the debit card and bought one without thinking it through. That was awesome.
