SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Benchmade Mini Griptilian takes on a sleek, modern edge in this SMKW Custom Crew edition, combining a black-coated blade with precision-machined titanium handle scales. This configuration delivers a knife that feels both lightweight and exceptionally strong, with the titanium providing rigid durability while the black blade adds a stealthy, professional look. The combination creates a compact EDC that’s equally at home in the field, on the job, or at your side every day.
Its 2.91-inch sheepsfoot blade, crafted from CPM-S30V stainless steel, offers excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The black coating reduces glare, adds abrasion resistance, and emphasizes the blade’s clean, tactical lines. Smooth deployment comes via the thumb hole opener, while the ambidextrous AXIS lock keeps the blade securely in place during demanding tasks.
The titanium handle scales provide a refined, comfortable grip with just the right balance and weight. Their machined contours fit naturally in the hand, offering stability and confidence with every cut. At 6.78 inches overall and 3.87 inches closed, the Mini Griptilian remains pocket-friendly, while the reversible tip-up pocket clip ensures discreet, adaptable carry.
This custom Mini Griptilian combines high-performance materials with understated, aggressive styling. Whether tackling outdoor tasks, daily cutting chores, or precision work, the titanium and black blade pairing elevates the knife into a tool that’s as visually striking as it is capable.
This kind of thoughtful, high-quality customization is exactly what makes Smoky Mountain Knife Works a must-visit destination. A Tennessee landmark and the world’s largest knife store, SMKW draws more than 1.5 million visitors annually to its legendary showroom in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains, where collectors and enthusiasts discover knives that inspire.
