Large knife. Well made. Despite its size, it is acceptably light, ergonomic, and does not feel like a tank opener. Considering the price, this product is for fans of the brand or specific model. The price is heavily overestimated. This does not refer to the store, but globally. Rather for fidgeting at home and displaying on a shelf, not for cutting barbed wire during a walk. If I lose it, it will hurt. For everyday carry, it is worth considering similarly, equally well-made and good quality products from emerging Chinese brands. There is a successful Ganzo clone available that surprised me very positively in terms of quality for the price. (Six times cheaper, good recommended steel, G10). Two stars less for the knife's pricing by the manufacturer.

Benchmade Griptilian CPM-S30V Folding Knife - Black Noryl GTX
A lightweight and durable folder designed for everyday carry (EDC), both during home tasks and outdoor activities. The blade is made from stainless steel CPM S30V, and the handle scales from durable Noryl GTX plastic.
stainless steel CPM S30V
The blade with a Drop-Point profile has a length of 87 mm and a thickness of 2.9 mm. It is made from highly wear-resistant satin-finished stainless steel CPM S30V with a hardness of 58-60 HRC. Jimping on the spine of the blade (also known as jimping) allows for a secure thumb grip during use.
double-sided thumb stud, Axis Lock
The knife can be opened using the double-sided thumb stud. The reliable Axis Lock prevents accidental opening of the knife, functioning as a pin that engages the back of the blade, pressed by two springs. It is simple and resistant to high loads.
Noryl GTX plastic handle
The ergonomically contoured handle is made from durable Noryl GTX plastic, which does not deform under the influence of moisture or chemicals and withstands temperatures in the range of 100-200 deg. C. The rough texture of the scales ensures a secure grip. There is an opening at the back of the knife for threading a safety lanyard.
springy clip
The knife is equipped with a springy clip that allows for convenient carrying by attaching it to a belt or the edge of a pocket. The clip is reversible and can be mounted in a tip-up position suitable for both right- and left-handed users.

E... Review confirmed by purchase
Nice little knife. It's not as small as it might seem, but it's light. Sits well in the hand. The handle has a secure grip. The material doesn't look 'cheap' as some might think. Everything fits together perfectly. Opens and closes smoothly and easily. You just have to be careful when 'clicking' not to swing it too hard because it closes loudly ;) I recommend it!!!!!!!!!!!!! The store, as always, works quickly and smoothly :)

Great EDC knife. Premium-grade steel, one of the best on the market. The plus is that it has a rounded handle, unlike other models where the handle is narrow, which makes it work even better.

The knife is a dream. Works like a charm. It has the best lock I've encountered. The steel used for the blade is excellent. I'm extremely satisfied with the purchase.

I've gone through many knives. From Mora, to Cold Steel and Spyderco... but this one is outstanding. The design is perfect. The mechanics are exemplary. The ergonomics – you just want to keep it in your hand. S30V steel – made for folders...! If anyone is considering it – go for it.

One of the best knives for everyday carry, so-called EDC. Super lock, great steel, very good workmanship. I recommend it to everyone, it's worth spending money on it.
