Devil's advocates gang! :) I appreciate you all!

[@jacobmanalang8162]

axis lock is really great for anyone left or right handed.i love it

[@Patchesgnzandknives]

Good review! The Grip is definitely a staple that will be in the knife community for a long time. The Benchmade gun destruction, I was told by someone who is employed there, he makes all the titanium scales and titanium frame locks, he said almost all the guns were old, broken, beyond repair or confiscated from gangs, people who obtained them illegally or used in crimes. I got over it and I am glad I didn’t sell mine off. I have a couple classic Benchmade’s.

[@ELWikiriWick]

Great job on carrying the conversation on knifes. Got me into knife, actually learned something on knifes. Unexpectedly. . Love the video looking forward to watching more. Cheers 🥂

[@BenKurth]

You sound great as always! The Benchmade Griptilian is a classic for sure. But my favorite new butterfly definitely has to be the new mini 940! Great review 💯

[@ShoeMonsterEDC]

Yeah the Griptilian is an amazing carry for sure. Thanks for the shoutout! Love your videos, and Keep up the great work! Btw braces look good 🙂🤙🏻🍻

[@miguelzap9269]

Good chance this will be my first knife purchase. Thanks!

[@sleeper90304]

Those braces makes you ten times more gorgeous

[@jeffreyfinney6930]

This is my first Benchmade as well same model as you are showing. I had to get it after I held it best feeling knife in my hand ever hope it lasts a long time.

[@turotomas1632]

Hello Carla, a great review and details for the Benchmade knife....I understand that the manufacture will sharpen the knives if they are sent back in the original box they come in...I like mine, and it's handy to have...great blades for sure...super smooth and fast action, and super sharp blades...

[@stevenhall1097]

You look amazing in your braces Carla. Thanks for the review.

[@alj.granda8252]

Thanks for your review. I thinking of buying this model as my first Benchmade. I already have a Spyderco Paramilitary 2 and a Hogue Auto Ballista which I love. Very happy with those two.

[@skylerbond56]

If you haven't got it yet I'd recommend checking out an army surplus if you have one near you I got a fully sized Griptilian at mine for $108

[@CamboTriton]

Might be my first Benchmade. Great video.

[@LittleFitDevil]

It would be the perfect one!

[@Wesker113A]

I absolutely adore that shirt. love the benchmade knife, love you.⚘

[@themetalmaiden7462]

Ok.....as a lifelong Spyderco carrier, you have motivated me to try something different for my edc. The Griptilian was on my shortlist of considerations, but instead I decided to try a Kershaw 1670TBLKST Tanto Serrated Blur Knife with SpeedSafe (Tactical Black). I've been wanting a Tanto blade, and looking for a folder, so I decided on this one. I wanted Made in USA, all black, Tanto blade, folder, and this one had it all. I've had it for about a week now and it's a little weird getting used to the minor ergonomic differences between this and the Spyderco, but it's starting to grow on me. I also picked up an ESEE 3 MIL combo blade for my EDC get home bag. You're becoming a bad influence ;) Keep up the good work!

[@LittleFitDevil]

I hear this often 😅 I make wallets hurt... This one comes in tanto style as well. I am considering getting one 😅🙂

[@themetalmaiden7462]

@@LittleFitDevil Yeah...it was down to these two and I decided on the Kershaw.....but....who knows....the Benchmade could wind up in my collection also :) If I get the Benchmade, I'd get it black blade and tan body.

[@themetalmaiden7462]

@@LittleFitDevil Let me know if you're insterested in reviewing the Kershaw or the ESEE 3 MIL.

Girl you got good taste in knives.

You have all the cool gadgets!

[@lincolnlocker469]

Love my benchmades!! My griptillion was one of the first to come out! But my new fave is the infidel.. cant fault companies for making poor choices when they produce quality made in the USA product's.

[@reginaldwhitecar99]

Carla I love the new look You look absolutely amazing with your braces Great review ❤️🤟🤠

[@jimyocum9556]

I love the giptilian but miss the 154cm that I actually prefer over s30v..love the black out thanks for the review

[@needsbeer]

I know that I can take your advice. Thank you very much.

[@user-zg1qz8oz2u]

Benchmade's apology knife,lol. Excellent review of a solid blade. Thank you, Ma'am.

[@k.g.389]

Question for you (or anyone else that might know). If someone custom-orders a mini black Griptilian, are there certain parts NOT to get black, due to easy scratching or it rubbing/wearing off? Also, best steel choice? Thanks!

[@oscarlamonte3148]

Beautiful BLADE!!👍👌 You should get a hold of a NEW AUTOCRAT!! I have a few, i could send you ONE!!

[@EverydayCityCarry]

Shoe Monster Tech is a good dude. I've had him on my podcast before. . The griptillian is solid. I prefer the mini because...NYC. cool video.

Привет! Подскажи высоту спусков и сведение ножа benchmade griptilian?

[@aaronmorales5992]

I dig it

[@martinpena8934]

I had a similar knife from benchmade. It was a very handy and durable knife. 🤔 where did it go?

[@ruckuswethepeep4384]

Upgrade needed!

[@jjoutes9969]

Great Job Car! You look amazing with your braces .

[@LittleFitDevil]

Glad you like them! I look like a dork

[@bearc1373]

Benchmade has some wicked product. And the braces make you look that much cuter dear ❤👍

[@pauloliver3841]

Oh go ahead and treat yourself and add it to your collection Carla. Use the braces ordeal as excuse. You seem like you really like it! You sold me on it that’s for sure.

[@ruckuswethepeep4384]

Braces look good

[@kevinmandrile5074]

Damn 😥... of course i was asleep when a total black knife review came out 😢... DAMN YOU TIMEZONES!!!😤😠😡🤬 Anyway Carla, great review as always👍, please keep them coming🙏, congrats for your first video with braces (at least i think it is), your smile looks as good as always, so don't warry about it, stay safe if you can and greetings from Italy 🇮🇹, bye. 😁👍❤🇮🇹👋

[@LittleFitDevil]

My first one, indeed!

[@barrypetejr5655]

Carla.....dont worry about the braces u still beautiful and not just on the outside!! I really think the handle of that blade would feel and fit really well in the hand....i like it 😊 with 💕😘 take care😉

[@Paulie1232]

Question, besides oiling your knives when they are rusty. When should knives be oiled ?

[@LittleFitDevil]

I clean my knives with Tuf Cloth with is a dry lubricant and works pretty well. I have not needed to oil any knives yet :)

[@skylerbond56]

I clean and oil the blade after every use if it's D2 otherwise s30v like this knife just needs to be wiped down with a rag or shirt fter use

[@michaelcorva731]

Great review!! Your braces tho :))

[@LittleFitDevil]

You stop 😅❤️⛔

[@donbandurski7389]

That grip needs Allen Putnam g-10 scales and it will be perfect

[@LittleFitDevil]

I agree very much. A G10 would be nice

[@clintkiker7626]

I have one of them Benchmade kinves

[@dtomknivesandgear6635]

I was the same way when they decided to destroy firearms for the police. I later was a little more forgiving once I found out the whole story but it is definitely something that was a major mistake on their part. The only Benchmade I own now is the Super Freek. It os pretty awesome.

[@LittleFitDevil]

Kind of a cool knife name 😅

[@LegionTacticoolCutlery]

I sure as hell will never buy any more benchmades. Good review though.
