Frequently Asked Questions
What makes S30V steel different from standard stainless steel?
CPM-S30V is a premium powder metallurgy steel that offers superior edge retention and corrosion resistance compared to standard stainless steels. The 58-60 HRC hardness provides an excellent balance of toughness and edge-holding ability.
How does the AXIS lock work?
The AXIS lock uses a spring-loaded bar that moves forward and back in the handle. When open, the bar sits behind the blade tang to lock it in place. Pulling the bar back with your thumb or finger releases the blade for closing.
Can I change the pocket clip position?
Yes, the pocket clip is reversible and can be configured for left or right-hand tip-up carry. The clip uses standard screws for easy repositioning.
Is this knife suitable for everyday carry?
The Mini Griptilian is designed specifically for everyday carry use. At 2.81 ounces with a 2.91-inch blade, it provides good cutting capability while remaining compact and lightweight for daily pocket carry.
What warranty does Benchmade provide?
Benchmade offers their LifeSharp service, which includes free sharpening for the life of the knife. They also provide repair services for normal wear and manufacturing defects.
