2008 Benchmade 550T Mel Pardue Training Griptilian - Dull Blade, Red Handle
It's the 550HG and the 555HG Griptilians... and they have evolved for 2007. Both models feature hollowground blades and ambidextrous round thumb-hole openers. With multiple blade styles, sizes and colors your Grips just got a little wilder... Grrr!
The 550T Training Griptilian allows you to practice full contact "steel on steel" drills, without the danger of "live" blades. The 550T has a rounded tip, holes drilled in the blade, and a bright red handle for easy identification.
