With all the talk about Benchmade pricing, it's nice to find a good deal.

Looks like both BladeHQ and KnifeCenter are clearing out stock of the full-sized Benchmade Griptilian 551-BK for $100 and $110 respectively.

And full-sized is key here. This is not a small knife. 3.45" (8.76 cm) blade with an overall open length of 8.07" (20.5 cm). It's also 3.82 oz (108.3 g) which is more than 2 full sized Bugout knives.

But for $100 with S30V steel and very sturdy scales (even if it's not a full liner) this is a really good deal.

For size comparison, there is both a Mini and full sized Griptillian (the thumbhole version) in my Axis Lock knives picture from the other week. The full sized Griptillian is the third largest one.

The handle slabs are like 3 times the thickness of the Bugout's. That makes it a lot more rigid and inspires confidence in the hand.
