SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Benchmade Mini Griptilian transforms into a one-of-a-kind showpiece in this SMKW Custom Crew edition, featuring uniquely anodized Entropic aluminum handle scales with a stunning blend of bluish, pinkish, and purple tones reminiscent of a sunset. Each set of handles is entirely unique, ensuring no two knives are exactly alike. Paired with a satin-finished CPM-S30V sheepsfoot blade, this Mini Griptilian balances artistry with performance, delivering a knife that’s as capable as it is visually striking.
The 2.91-inch blade provides excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, while the satin finish keeps the look clean and professional. Smooth deployment comes via the thumb hole opener, and the ambidextrous AXIS lock keeps the blade secure under all tasks, from everyday chores to outdoor adventures.
The anodized Entropic aluminum scales are lightweight yet strong, providing a secure grip while showcasing a mesmerizing, multicolored pattern that changes subtly with light and angle. At 6.78 inches overall and 3.87 inches closed, the Mini Griptilian remains pocket-friendly, and the reversible tip-up pocket clip keeps carry versatile and discreet.
This custom Mini Griptilian delivers dependable cutting performance while serving as a truly unique piece of functional art. The vibrant, sunset-inspired handles make it an instant conversation starter, while the satin blade ensures the knife remains a practical, hard-working tool.
