Benchmade 550 Griptilian Folding Knife 3.45″ Sheepsfoot CPM-S30V Stainless Steel Blade Nylon Handle Information
The 550 Griptilian folder features a CPM-S30V steel blade, AXIS lock mechanism, molded handle with steel liners and a reversible pocket clip. Benchmade knives are covered under a limited lifetime warranty.
According to Benchmade, the AXIS locking system gets its function from a small, hardened steel bar which rides forward and back in a slot machined into both steel liners. The bar extends to both sides of the knife, spanning the liners and positioned over the rear of the blade. It engages a ramped, tang portion of the knife blade when it is opened. Two omega style springs, one on each liner, give the locking bar it’s inertia to engage the knife tang, and as a result the tang is wedged solidly between a sizable stop pin and the AXIS bar itself.
