The Benchmade 550 Griptilian — America's Favorite EDC Folder

The Benchmade Griptilian has earned its reputation as one of the most reliable everyday carry knives ever made. Whether you're opening packages, preparing food on the trail, or need a dependable tool at your side, the 550 Griptilian delivers every time.

The sheepsfoot blade profile is purpose-built for controlled, precise cuts — ideal for everyday tasks where a pointed tip isn't needed. Combined with Benchmade's legendary AXIS lock mechanism, you get one-handed opening and closing that's smooth, secure, and built to last a lifetime.

Why knife enthusiasts choose the Griptilian: The glass-filled black Nylon handle is lightweight yet incredibly durable, and the ambidextrous design means left and right-handed users are equally at home. The tip-up pocket clip keeps it accessible and secure in your pocket all day long.
