    Been looking at the griptillian for about six months. Maybe a birthday present to myself in a couple months.

    I'll review it in a couple days. I need to reverse it, as I am left handed, but I did a quick video here tonight regarding the pocket to open feature. In the video I opened it quickly and slowly so the watcher can get an idea how it works. Basically, put into pocket against the rear seam, pulling it out toward this rear seam of my pocket, works great. Love it so far, been only playing with it a few minutes. Enjoy!

    Well, ive carried the knife for 2 weeks just about.

    So far, the way it clips inside the pocket, its comfortable, concealable, yet very accessible the way your fingers grip it to draw. Its easy to use, either quick from pocket to open or manual open. The locking feature is durable, yet easy to close the blade. The knife is reversible to fit it users left or right hand\pocket and it feels just right in the hand. The blade has a nice sleek and stonetumbled finish. The price, mid $60's +shipping is worth every penny imo. Lifetime knife sharpenings or service if needed, legendary manufacturer and designer and I believe it won some kind of knife award. Good tool, and I suggest anyone thinking of buying a knife in the near future, take a good like at it!

    Compared to saws it's cheap for something I would use daily. Heck I've got 3 bars that costs more than that at least.

    Absolutely. If it's something you'll be using daily, def worth the price.

    I likes that one for the rust resistance. I sweat a lot so anything in my pockets get soaked a lot and don't want it to rust up like my case xx do.

    Awesome! You get a deal on it? You'll have to give it a quick review after awhile.

    I got it from knifeworks.com. It was the cheapest place online for it and quick shipping. So far it is a nice knife and real sharp right out of the box.

    Well after having the military Spyderco for a while now it's a great knife. Holds an edge better than I would have ever thought. I bought a smaller Spyderco with different steel and it's not holding an edge near as long.

    I've been carrying a Kershaw random leek for a year or so and like it a lot, perfect size for me.

    I got a spyderco sharpmaker last Christmas and really like that, easy to put a good edge on.
