Benchmade 556BKS30VZ Mini Griptilian Folding Knife Bronze Black SMKW Custom BM556BKS30VZ

The Benchmade Mini Griptilian takes on a bold, commanding presence in this SMKW Custom Crew edition, featuring a black-coated blade paired with warm bronze handle scales. The bronze scales give the knife a substantial, tactile feel while developing a natural patina over time, adding character and individuality to each piece. Combined with the black blade, this Mini Griptilian delivers a striking, rugged aesthetic that’s built to perform in any environment.

Its 2.91-inch sheepsfoot blade is forged from CPM-S30V stainless steel, offering excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The black coating adds durability, reduces glare, and gives the blade a stealthy, tactical appearance. Smooth deployment comes from the thumb hole opener, while the ambidextrous AXIS lock ensures the blade stays secure during any cutting task.

The bronze handle scales provide a solid, ergonomic grip, making extended use comfortable and giving the knife a grounded, confident feel in hand. At 6.78 inches overall and 3.87 inches closed, the Mini Griptilian remains compact and pocket-friendly, while the reversible tip-up pocket clip allows discreet and flexible carry.

This custom Mini Griptilian merges practicality with bold style. It handles outdoor chores, everyday tasks, and precision cutting with ease, while the combination of bronze and a black-coated blade creates a unique, rugged look that stands out from standard production knives.
