Benchmade 556S30VBZ Mini Griptilian Folding Knife Bronze SMKW Custom BM556S30VBZ

The Benchmade Mini Griptilian takes on a rugged, outdoors-ready character in this SMKW Custom Crew edition, featuring a stonewashed blade paired with bronze handle scales. The bronze handles provide weight, durability, and a textured grip that develops a rich patina over time, while the stonewashed blade hides wear and gives the knife a tough, utilitarian aesthetic. Together, they create a Mini Griptilian that’s built for serious use yet still pocket-friendly.

Its 2.91-inch sheepsfoot blade, forged from CPM-S30V stainless steel, offers excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The stonewash finish reduces glare, minimizes visible scratches, and enhances the knife’s rugged appeal. Smooth deployment is handled by the thumb hole opener, and the ambidextrous AXIS lock keeps the blade secure under every cutting task.

The bronze handle scales combine strength with tactile feedback, providing a confident, ergonomic grip for prolonged use. At 6.78 inches overall and 3.87 inches closed, the Mini Griptilian remains compact and easy to carry, while the reversible tip-up pocket clip adds discreet, versatile carry options.

This custom Mini Griptilian delivers dependable performance for outdoor work, daily chores, and precision tasks alike. The combination of bronze handles with a stonewashed blade gives the knife a striking, hard-use-ready appearance that grows more distinctive with every use.
