Benchmade CZ-USA Tactical Folder.

[CZF]

The Benchmade model 551SBK Griptilian MDP SPECIAL
arrived on Friday. A nice blue cardboard box and nylon case
made a good first impression.

Liking the how light and smooth the knife was...
I had a few days to carry it on a quick trip and do some fly-fishing.

As one that is always fearful of losing my knife, I do appreciate how the Griptilian lives up to it's name.

A well constructed belt clip and combined bumpy texure of the knife make it very secure for carry clipped to your pocket.

Like with the cheaper ( and cheaper made) Kershaw vapor 2
CZ-USA model folder that some of us have been using for
a few years now.

I think that this Benchmade is a great addition to your CZ memorabilia. Even though if costs a bit more than the standard Griptilian, you are getting a great knife and helping support your favorite gun company as well.

You can find both of the CZ-USA Benchmades and also the
Kershaw here:
