This allows true ambidextrous operation and reduces wear on the blade tang compared to liner locks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow does 154CM steel perform for everyday carry tasks?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e154CM offers a good balance of edge retention and sharpenability. At 58-61 HRC hardness, it holds an edge through daily cutting tasks while remaining easy to touch up with standard sharpening tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan the pocket clip be removed completely?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, the standard pocket clip can be removed if you prefer to carry the knife in a pocket without clip retention. The clip position is reversible for tip-up carry on either side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the handle thickness on this knife?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe handle measures 0.51 inches thick, making it slim enough for comfortable pocket carry without printing through clothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes this knife come with a sheath or case?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, the Mini 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":43773620420707,"sku":"18308","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/7546\/5827\/files\/18308.jpg?v=1760233833","url":"https:\/\/tacticaledge.com\/products\/556-mini-griptilian-satin-plain-edge-black-handle-18308","provider":"tacticaledge.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
