Benchmade 555BKS30VT Mini Griptilian Folding Knife Titanium SMKW Custom BM555BKS30VT

The Benchmade Mini Griptilian 555-S30V takes on a premium, battle-ready feel in this SMKW Custom Crew edition outfitted with precision-machined titanium handle scales. This upgrade transforms the knife into a tougher, more refined tool, giving it exceptional rigidity, a clean metallic aesthetic, and a balanced in-hand presence that stands apart from the standard configuration. Titanium keeps weight reasonable while adding unmistakable durability, making the knife feel purpose-built without sacrificing comfort.

Its 2.91-inch sheepsfoot blade, crafted from CPM-S30V stainless steel, delivers the reliable edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance expected from Benchmade’s workhorse steel. The satin finish stays subdued and functional, while the thumb hole opener provides smooth, intuitive deployment. Once open, the ambidextrous AXIS lock secures the blade with unwavering confidence, giving the knife a stable, ready-for-anything stance.

The titanium scales elevate ergonomics with clean machining and a tactile, confident grip. Their strength-to-weight ratio keeps the knife feeling agile yet unmistakably solid, and the refined lines match the Mini Griptilian’s already-comfortable shape. At 6.78 inches overall and 3.87 inches closed, the knife stays compact and pocket-friendly, while the reversible tip-up pocket clip keeps carry low-profile and adaptable.

In everyday use, this custom Mini Griptilian delivers smooth performance, handling everything from daily cutting chores to tougher outdoor tasks. The titanium scales give the knife a rugged, professional attitude while maintaining the compact reliability that made the Mini Griptilian a favorite among serious users.
