I'm think about pulling the trigger on a 551SBK Griptillian for EDC. I do own a D2 K-Bar, and I really like the D2 steel for it's wear and corrosion resistance. The only reason why I haven't bought a 551 in D2 yet is because one of my local dealers can get me a good deal on the 154cm version. I'm looking for corrosion resistance, strength for prying, wear resistance, and edge holding. So what I'm really wondering is if I will be at a disadvantage with 154cm vs D2. Or whichever one is better in your opinion's? |

My griptilian is a Plain Blade Full Size OD Handled D2 Steel. I like the steel but didn't like the overall design of the knife as much as I do my BM940 or BM941 Osbornes which happen to be 154cm.
I got it for a real good price if you might be interested in a slightly used one. |

Oddly Benchmade doesn't make one with a drop point, but the modified tanto looks quite good. I may go with the 940 instead. I'll probably go with the cheapest of the two steels I can get since I can't really go wrong with either. |
