Jason, +1, but Bill +10.
Also, I'm going to take that non-denial of its existence and impending arrival, as a confirmation rather of its existence, and.....almost immediate arrival?!?

Jason I like the anticipation after the green light for go is lit.
The possibility of another forum knife is another great example.
Are we spinning our wheels, wasting time?
Anticipation = it's enroute and will be in your hand in five days, four days, three days. . . .0 -

Hey, that looks pretty nice. I'm not a Griptilian fan, so this won't be one I'm tempted to buy (thank God). Nice, though.... 0 -
That's quite gorgeous. I want that, I want that, I want that... 0 -
Correct me if I'm wrong.
No full liners?0 -

None of the Grips have full liners.. So you are correct.0 -

You really do. That brass is poppin'!0 -
I saw this and the only question I had was...
How many is Po going to get?0 -
Also in M390 like the 551-1702? OK, I guess I'll get another grip. 0 -
I'm so conflicted...
I have long lusted after a MDP Grip in M390 and I LOVE the black oxide deep carry clip. However, I don't like flat Grip scales.
I wonder if I could find someone to trade me a set of sculpted G10 Benchmade scales for those carbon fibers?0 -

FWIW, I have the 551-1702 in hand and the mircata is sculpted more like a regular grip with barrel spacers and it is $30 cheaper than the carbon fiber with the same M390.0 -

The 551-1 doesn't have full liners?
Just cked mine out. All this time I thought it did.0 -

Will have to pick one up.
This one has been asked for since the dawn of time. Limited run of 1200? Un limited run? Thanks.0 -
Jason,
Will the barrel spacers from the 551-1 fit this 551-1701?
I've zero Grips this one may break through.
Are the barrel spacers truly brass or gold anodized Al?
Brass paired with CF seems like an oxymoron to me ( like a brass ship's bell attached to the nose of a stealth fighter)

It doesn't say Limited Edition
Nor numbered.
Just Exclusive
The same as the -17020 -

All Mini Grips have full liners as far as I know.
The mini grips have full, nestled liners. The full sized grips have partial, nestled liners.
And this is a must buy. Maybe not a must keep, but I'll have to have it in hand first. Only have one flat slab griptilian, and it's cool, but it's bulky and heavy. Rarely sees pocket time as a result. CF should be a different story as far as weight, and the contoured handle looks more svelte. We'll see when it's in hand.
And this looks to be a dealer exclusive.... Jason, can you confirm?0 -

My story exactly. A regular Grip is .61" thick. And I only get a 3.46" blade length with that. Too bulky. An 806 is only .50" thick. A Grip sure is comfortable in the hand, though!0 -
How hard would it be to get different barrel spacers? The brass is not doing it for me but the rest of the knife is perfect. 0 -

They're interchangeable barrel spacers, yes. And they are truly brass, as well.
I think ya gotta see it up close and personal. They look hot.
