GRIPTILIANdna
This wild species of knives is still alive and well.
Every aspect of Griptilian’s genetics has been
painstakingly thought out. Form and function fuse
with a ferocity that cannot be tamed. Over the
years the Grips have marked their territory with
a vengeance on industry leading mechanics and
lightweight carry. So go wild and get a Grip!

151 FIXEDgriptilian®
pardue design
Improve your “gripping” power… Built
on the overwhelming success of the
Griptilian folders, the fixed blade design
can hold its own. Molded handle scales
with “grippy” soft rubber inserts are a
nice combination applied to a proven
handle shape. The drop-pointed, full-
grind blade packs more utility than you
will ever need no matter how far you
venture off the path. Look to
the Grip to fix your outdoor
knife demands.

201 activator®+
snody design
The 201 Activator+ is sleek, comfortable
and an all-around handful of outdoor
utility. Let’s talk versatility: lanyard hole
and leather sheath, stabilized winewood
handle scales for that classic but
durable look, D2 high-grade tool steel,
generous grooves on the blade spine for
griping power along with a large finger
guard for safety. This is destined to be
one of those knives headed for all points
North (and anywhere in between).

32 MORPHo®
benchmade design
BMK raises the bar on Bali once more! A
patented liner-sprung latch opens with
a squeeze, yet locks open, too. Solid,
machined slab construction is built on
jeweled ti-liners. Heat-treated kicker
pins keep things rockin’ hard and fast,
and a practical blade shape is detailed
out with a crowned blade spine. Others
may get all the press, but Benchmade
still owns the glory when it comes to
Balis and the 32 proves it. Again.

Located in the beautiful Pacific Northwest,
Benchmade employees are able to work
and play in some of the best backyards on
the planet.
Seems simple enough. You open when it is opened. Two omega style springs, one on
the knife, you close the knife. But each liner, give the locking bar it’s inertia to engage

can make the difference between itself.
ordinary and extraordinary. Is
the knife easy to actuate, can ROLLING LOCk® with
the knife be opened with one InDraft®
hand, is it ambidextrous, and
will it be reliable when you need
it most? These are all essential
considerations when it comes to
knife mechanics.
Benchmade offers several
mechanisms, from patented
exclusives including the unparal-
leled AXIS, to more traditional
lock back designs. It all comes
down to your level of desired
function.
LEVITATOR ®
A patented Benchmade exclusive, the knife handle
scale/liner is cut to create a spring system which is
used to leverage a lock-pin in and out of a notch in the
tang of the blade. This spring/pin system effectively
locks the blade both in the open and closed positions.
A patented Benchmade exclusive, AXIS has been turning (See picture on page 52)
heads and winning fans ever since its introduction. A
100-percent ambidextrous design, AXIS gets its function
from a small, hardened steel bar which rides forward
and back in a slot machined into both steel liners.
The bar extends to both sides of the knife, spanning
the liners and positioned over the rear of the blade.
It engages a ramped, tang portion of the knife blade
benchmade.com 51
OPTIMISER ®
MODIFIED LOCKING-LINER
Another patented Benchmade exclusive, which
“optimizes” the knife mechanism if the user chooses
to do so… A steel torsion bar running the length of the
inside handle spine is secured in place and contacts a
surface area of the blade tang. As the blade is closed
the torsion bar is tensioned against the blade tang,
then as the user rotates the blade open to a 30-degree
angle, the torsion bar takes over and continues the
blade opening process on its own. The huge advantages
to the Optimiser design over other similar concepts,
is that the blade must be rotated open to beyond a
30-degree angle, which offers added user control. And
even more amazing, the Optimiser can be added or
removed at the discretion of the user and the knife/
mechanism still functions normally. The choice is yours.
BILT® System
52 benchmade.com
MONOLOCK positions a stop bar parallel to and in direct line with
the blade at the upper back or rear tang of the blade to
lock the blade open. Basically, as the blade is rotated
open, the spring tensioned, center pivoted stop bar
tracks around the circular portion of the blade tang
until it drops or locks into the notched out tang. And to
release the lock, the exposed portion of the stop bar in
the handle back is depressed into the handle, pivoting
the stop bar out, releasing the locked blade. This style
of mechanism requires two hands to safely close the
blade although you may still easily open the blade
single-handed if desired.
