This model is also producted in USA and since year 2006 the knife's supplied with blade from non-rusting steel 154CM.
The Blade differs from the last model with it's type though steel is the same. It's hard to say at first sight if the type of the blade is worse or better. And if you really want to start delving into this issue you should better ask the producer, he really is the one who knows what's good and what's bad. But you shouldn't get yourself caught in an endless loop because the knife cuts really good and thrust is rather good. And thrusting a half of the blade into the wood is not a very big problem and you shouldn't worry that your hand can fly off onto the blade, the handle won't let this happen.
It seems rotundity and massiveness of the handle are the property of all Griptillian series. Really convenient and hard grasp both for lefthanders and for righthanders. Besides because of roundness of the handle you can easily rest the knife against the palm.
The clip is rather convenient but there's a defect. It isn't pressed to the handle. So there can be problems with wearing the knife in clothes of delicate cloth. And a few words concerning the grip. The clip can be shifted no problem. But if you wish you can take it away to avoid for example problems with wearing the knife in some summer pants.
The lock of AXIS is like the one that has previous model Griptilian. It's different with it's reliability, mildness of opening and closing, withstands soiling good but not perfectly. Yes, probably everyone wants it but it's a clasp-knife and there's nothing we can do: if there are fixed details, dust is going to concentrate anyway. So you will have to scour it occasionally. The scour is rather simple: just wash it under the water stream and that's all.
Perhaps the one thing that's different from the 550th model is the presence of prong for opening instead of hole. This is most likely the minus of the model than plus. Yes, the blade is single-pieced without any hole. But opening with help of a hole like the one of previous version of Griptilian is nevertheless more convenient affair. Since you got big fingers for example, you don't have to worry you won't be able to open the knife and with prong people like this can fiddle around.
Like the previous model the knife is supplied in two versions: with the serrated edge and with non-serrated one. The knives with serrated edge have at least problems with sharpening which should be done carefully and with quality of cut which demands attention, but it's the matter of taste.
In general we can say this model is rather good and convenient except prong.
The price varies from $80 to $100.
