Amazing knife! | |
| Rating: |  |
| I currently own 4 other knives/tools for multi-day/weeklong backpacking trips. I have 3 Gerber blades (Paraframe, LMFII ASEK, and the Obsidian) and a Leatherman Skeletool CX. I'm definitely not a knife expert, but I know what I need and what I like. I got my roommate the Mini-Griptillian with the serrated blade for Christmas and really wanted a Griptillian myself after seeing how much he dug it. I just wanted a bigger handle and razor edge, well here it is. This knife trumps all of the Gerber knives I own easily. The Obsidian has a similar opening system, but doesn't work like the Benchmade. When you hold the button down on the Griptillian and flick your wrist, the knife opens fully immediately. It is just as fast as a switchblade or an automatic knife in my opinion. It works smoothly with one hand, and no need to even use the thumbstud, just flick the wrist and bam, its open. The blade is incredibly sharp. It cuts effortlessly through anything you throw at it. The handle grip feels great and its lightweight too. This knife is going to be the only knife I use now. It's weight replaces the LMF, its sharp blade and weight replaces the Paraframe, and its smooth opening system replaces the obsidian. It comes with a small microfiber bag too, which is awesome. Nothing bad to say about this great knife, get one! | |
