Griptilian...Takes a Lickin' and Keeps on Tickin' raw footage

This knife can handle quite a bit. Ben from Blade HQ and I head out to the mountains to test the Benchmade Griptilian. Trying to push the limits of the knife but not going overboard. Take a look to see how it handled the beating.

Also check out Ben's video. He knocked it out of the park.

@nofgood4live Thanks. Ya definitely a job for a fixed blade. It was a lot of fun to test it this way though. Course any time I'm in the mountains is a good time.

Very cool video Crocket. You are right, these arent meant for this kind of heavy use applications, but it is comforting to know that when you pay the price for a knife like that you really do get a good value. As unlikely as it might be to have to do this to your Grip, the fact that it can do it is really impressive. I really enjoy videos that exhibit pushing a knife to its limits. Keep up the good work.

@Kylemagg88 You get it. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment.

and upcoming, we use a plastic spoon to open a can of beans :)

I watched it all, and I appreciate why you're doing what you're doing (in a sadistic sort of way) but to many of us it's like beating your pet/guard dog, you're the Michael Vick of folding knives, REPENT !!! this sort knife abuse MUST STOP !!! :)

love the vid,

@scooter17568 LOL at KPS : )

I think you pretty much hit this one out of the park--this "raw footage" your review and Ben's vid. Yes, there was some abuse but not quite enough to call KPS (Knife Protective Services).

@sabr686 I really like that type of locking mechanism too. The functionality is great. Wish you well my friend.

@ScoutsNOA Good feedback Scouts. I like to change it up too.
