The Griptilian is equipped with a modified drop-point, combo-edge blade made of BK1-coated 154CM stainless steel. The Axis locking mechanism, meanwhile, is a longtime fan favorite. 100-percent ambidextrous, Axis derives its function from a small hardened steel bar that rides forward and back in a machined slot. With a simple thumb rotation, you'll unleash the Griptilian in a flash. Finally, the hand settles naturally over the Noryl GTX handle, which features a palm-swelled shape and textured skin.
