The Griptilian is back and better than ever! Well, it never really left but the 555-1 (and the rest of the "-1" series) presents the Griptilian platform upgraded with premium blade and handle materials. The 555-1's Sheepsfoot profile blade is highly utilitarian and is made with CPM 20CV, a highly wear and corrosion resistant super stainless steel. The handles still feature the integral diamond texturing but are now made from contoured, grey G10 on blue liners. The handles are also made in an open back construction with bright blue anodized barrel spacers for an even more striking look. The time tested AXIS lock is still in effect for easy, ambidextrous use. It can also be carried either left or right handed thanks to a reversible, tip-up, deep carry pocket clip. The 555-1 Mini Griptilian is a classic design revamped with modern materials for the best of both worlds. Check it out now at GPKnives.com.
