Installation
It's easy to install these upgraded handle scales on your Benchmade Mini-Griptilian. The only tools you'll need are two Torx bits (T6 and T10, both of which are available in the Benchmade Blue Box Toolkit).

Derrick's Video is the Key to Success
As my headline indicates, watch Derrick's training video, and then, watch it again. When he says take your time taking screws out because of lock-tight on threads, he means it (I managed to strip a screw and had to use some finagling with a drill to get the screw out). When he says the barrel that holds the knife blade in place can only be re-inserted one way because it's not completely round, take heed. But the good news is, if you take your time and follow the directions, the results are terrific. The handle fits together absolutely perfectly and looks and feels (in my opinion) much more substantial and better in the hand. You might miss the little ridges in the mini-grip handle (and if you LOVE those little bumps you shouldn't buy this product), but I think the net result is outstanding. I'm really happy with the outcome.
