Which Benchmade Knife is more worth buying?2021 knife Buying Guide

1.GRIPTILIAN

Designed by Mel Pardue, the Griptilian and Mini-Griptilian have been cornerstones of the Benchmade lineup for years. Available in two sizes (the mini has a 2.91” blade, the regular has a 3.45” blade) and a huge array of materials and blade shapes, all Griptilian family knives share the same basic handle shape — a rounded spine, and a swell towards the rear of the handle with an organic contour to the handles that make the knife just feel absolutely natural in the hand. In fact, that’s probably the draw to the Griptilian — there are no weird angles, no strange shapes, it’s a kind of form factor that feels natural to everyone that uses it.

2.BUGOUT

Part of its lightweight package comes from the super-thin (0.42”) Grivory handles that forego steel liners for weight reduction. Blade thickness is almost Chaparral-thin at 0.09”, making the most of the flat ground drop point blade shape in CPM S30V. An anodized blue thumb stud matches the vibrant blue color of the handles, making the Bugout easy to find if you drop it — which is the intended MO of the 535, being designed as a lightweight camping knife for hikers who count and obsess over every gram.

3.Griptillian

The Griptillian is many people’s first introduction to a higher end knife. Comes in two sizes the Mini Griptilian at 2.91 blade, and the large at 3.45”. They come in variety of steels, most notably 154CM and S30V with some special editions having M4, M390, and a variety of other steels.

4.Benchmade 940 EDC

Benchmade made things quite easy by aptly naming this bad boy a simple and sweet “EDC”. I think the name probably sums up why it’s in the EDC category but let’s explore what makes this one of the most popular reverse-tanto blades on the market today.

Most people likely end up with a drop-point shaped blade when searching for an EDC knife and that makes sense, considering the drop-point is one of the most versatile blade shapes, however, the reverse-tanto can be just as versatile and when done correctly, as it is on the EDC 940. You can actually get the same drop-point attributes with further controllability in tight situations. The thinner spine near the tip on the reverse-tanto allows for quicker and more nimble cutting through tight spaces and thus makes this knife extremely versatile for precise tasks like carpentry, woodwork, etc.

Aside from the somewhat unique blade shape approach, Benchmade has managed to offer you a 3.4” blade in a package that weighs less than 3 ounces and yet still manages to offer an excellent grip and a heavy-hitting S30V steel blade. In terms of ease of carrying and usability, this may just be the knife that sits the most comfortably in between those two attributes found on the market today.

5.Benchmade Anthem 781

The Anthem is incredibly lightweight for its size and toughness and that clip is something seriously special. The clip is textured just like the single-piece body of the Anthem which is a very nice touch, something I’d expect from paying this much but despite the price, it still feels over the top and like they really took notice of the small details. I will mention this about the clip, it isn’t like the standard Benchmade deep carry clips and doesn’t do well on exceptionally thin material like gym shorts but feels great and stays in place snuggly when used on thick materials like jeans or tactical pants. A final note here, most Benchmade clips are not compatible with the Anthem and the Anthem’s clip is not compatible with any other Benchmade knife I’ve reviewed.

The Anthem is super thin despite feeling hefty and strong and this makes for an excellent middle-ground between comfort when carrying and girth when holding the knife, something you usually have to give in on one side or the other.
