Det finns i grunden 2 varianter av Griptilian: med öppningshål och skålslipning och sen den med "thumb-studs" som har sabelslipning. Jag har båda variantern i båda storlekarna.
1. Tack, för upplysningen. Det verkar nästan som att Benchmade försöker mjölka så mycket pengar som möjligt ur en av sina storsäljare genom att göra gör en massa olika varianter...
