Benchmade 555 Mini-Griptilian AXIS Folding Knife with 2.91" Black Serrated Edge Sheepsfoot Blade, CPM-S30V Steel, Black Handle

2025-11-21T19:00:00

The Giptillions with the sheepfoot blade are the best knifes I have ever owned. I own both the full size and the mini. Being left handed, I can open and close the knife using only my left hand (would work for a right hander also) I use the Mini for my EDC and the full size for hunting. Both sizes have broken down elk. The S30V blades are razor sharp and will hold an edge for an entire animal without needing to be stropped.

Pro: -Awesome blade quality & unique look -perfect pivot tune & blade centering on this one l -good texture & feel Slight criticism: If the handle was 1/4" longer it would perfection, but it's still awesome as-is!

This is my third griptilian. I have another mini add a full sized. I picked it up from the factory store on vacation and promptly used it for construction of my grandfather's deck. Upon returning home I found a little bit of roll over on the edge, granted I was carving 2x6's with it and it stayed extremely sharp except for where the edge rolled over slightly.

I bought this knife for my son's 18th birthday. He loves how easy it is to open and close. And it hooks on the pants he wears as a chef in a professional kitchen. Benchmade fan!

Super sharp! Easy opening, I really like the blade shape. To me you get a more usable cutting surface. I like the cutout for opening the blade it doesn't scratch my hand or wallet in my pocket. The warranty and lifetime sharpening is second to none.

Phenomenal Fit & Finish, razor sharp from the box, Made in the USA, LifeSharp, for $60?? Also, the code they give you is redeemable with most knives on their website, including customs! I was able to get a custom Mini Griptilian (Crater Blue scales with D2 blade) for $52, insanely good deal. I highly recommend this knife to anyone looking for a great HARDY Everyday Carry. Make a custom if you don't like the options! Great deal!

This pocket knife is by far the best knife I've used in a long time. For a daily use knife I highly recommend it. Stays sharp for long time easy to sharpen if you have a little experience. Spend the money it is well worth it.

Much like the larger Griptilian it makes for a great everyday carry knife. I love the thumb hole opening which made it my go-to knife of choice when I converted to Benchmade. I feel like it holds a much better edge, longer than similar looking and functioning knives of its competitors. If you're on the fence, give this knife or its larger brother a chance, you won't regret it.

This model is great with the thumb hole so it can easily be used. Being a mini version, it is big enough to be functional and be carried or stored pretty much anywhere! This is one of the staples of my every day carry collection.

This is my third mini-Grip. The first was lost when my home burned down in a wildcard fire. The second one I had to turn over to security at the Colosseum in Rome. I hope he enjoys it as much as I have. I ordered this one from my phone in Rome that night. I don't want to be without one!

I love this knife. I hide my first one bought 10 years ago so no one would find it when traveling. After ripping the house apart upon return I could not find it. Maybe some day? Had to have it as again as I use it daily since hands don't function well anymore (nor my brain). From cutting to opening items and various uses throughout the day. Always comfortable; easy to grip; blade always sharp and never worry about breaking the blade.

The whole family has a grip or a mini now. If you're willing to spend the money on one they will last forever with hard use. Mines ten years old and still going

I have a few awesome benchmade knives, but the mini G is def my new edc . I have bigger hands and thought it would be too small , but it's actually a perfect fit. Very well designed and I think the sheep's foot version is really nice feature.

The mini Griptilian is the perfect knife. Not too flashy, but very functional. It arrived VERY sharp. Be careful!

I own several Benchmade knives as part of my collection of over 100 knives. I find the Benchmade design, execution and reliability to be top notch. My every day carry I use on an average three to five times a week from outdoor work in the field, home and warehouse situations. Cutting, slicing, even using the back of the blade for flint striking. Compared to other brands with alternate blade locks, which have failed on occasion. In the five years of carrying a Benchmade I have never had a lock failure. With a ceramic rod for light touch ups, the blade keeps a fine edge. Now that I have recently purchased a backup griptillian, (Through the website which was an ease. ) I will be sending in my primary EDC for lifetime sharpening and inspection

Nice size edc, I work in a very sandy / muddy environment daily. Axis lock has not failed even when covered in thick mud. Easy to resharpen / clean.

Nice high quality knife for every day carry. Small and light enough to fit in a pocket but substantial enough to handle any use you may have for it. Has a super sharp blade and is made of durable materials
