Click Here to Buy Your Benchmade Griptilian KnifeThe Benchmade Griptilian knife in the 550 series is a very popular. All of these knivesin this series have the hollow ground blade. Hollow ground is defined as where a convex hollow is removed from both sides of the edge. This produces a very sharp edge to the Benchmade Griptilian. It is unsuited to heavy chopping or cutting hard materials as this blade will be very thin and razor sharp. This grind is used extensively in mass produced knives.This type of hollow ground edge is not a bad thing unless you plan on hacking up logs with your Benchmade Griptilian knife; which I would not advise, with any knife. This permits the blade to be extremely sharp, so lather up and give yourself a shave.
