This allows ambidextrous operation and maintains lock strength even with heavy use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the 154CM steel easy to sharpen in the field?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. 154CM steel at 58-61 HRC sharpens well with standard field sharpening tools while maintaining good edge retention for extended cutting tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I adjust the pocket clip for left-handed carry?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The reversible tip-up clip can be repositioned for either left or right-handed pocket carry without additional hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the blade coating and why use it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe coated blade finish provides corrosion resistance and reduces glare. This coating helps the blade perform in wet conditions and tactical environments where reflection could be a concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes this knife come with a sheath or case?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The Griptilian is designed for pocket carry with the included reversible clip. No sheath is included or needed for this folding knife design.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Benchmade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43773927227491,"sku":"29379","price":123.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/7546\/5827\/files\/29379.jpg?v=1760240483","url":"https:\/\/tacticaledge.com\/products\/551bk-griptillian-black-plain-edge-black-handle-29379","provider":"tacticaledge.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
