Benchmade 556BK-S30V Mini Griptilian in a new version, has been equipped with a premium CPM-S30V steel blade , widely considered to be the best stainless steel on the market. The Benchmade 556BK-S30V Pardue has a classic utility drop-point blade with a flat cut. The smooth blade covered with a black protective layer is made of American CPM-S30V stainless steel , hardened to a hardness of 58-60 HRC . The shape of the blade, the type of cut and the quality of the steel used cause that the blade maintains excellent working sharpness for a long time and has outstanding cutting properties. The double- sided pin allows for convenient unfolding of the blade with one hand for right and left-handed people. A fragment of the back of the blade has been raised and subjected to grooving, thus creating a stable point of support for the fingers when guiding the blade precisely. The flagship Benchmade mechanism, the double-sided Axis-lock lock , is responsible for work safety , valued for its enormous mechanical strength, resistance to dirt and ease of use for right and left-handed users. Linings attached to steel inserts (420J) are made of dark green nylon (reinforced with glass fiber), with non-slip texturing for a solid and secure grip. Benchmade 556BK-S30V Mini Griptilian is a kind of icon among everyday knives, in which the manufacturer has put maximum emphasis on functionality, structural strength and reliability.
