Benchmade - 537SGY-03 Bailout Folding Knife
Benchmade 537GY-1 Bailout to very lightweight and durable tactical knife from the "black class" series equipped with a tanto head made of CPM-M4 powder steel, an aluminum striker and aggressively textured 6061-T6 aluminum facings.
Ideal for everyday use
The Benchmade Bailout 537GY-1 is a military style edc knife, accented by a gray tanto head partially serrated.
The head was coated with gray DLC coating, which has a very high abrasion resistance, it also protects the steel from corrosion. The blade can be conveniently unfolded with one hand, thanks to a double-sided peg (made of anodized aluminum), allowing right- and left-handed people to operate the knife comfortably.
Premium steel head
The new 537GY-1 Bailout model has a blade made of high-carbon CPM-M4 tool steel hardened to a hardness as high as 62-64 HRC. Thanks to the high content of molybdenum, vanadium and tungsten, the high level of carbon has been balanced, resulting in excellent sharpness retention and tremendous hardness.
Sharpening such steel is difficult and time-consuming, and regular care of the blade must also be remembered. In return, however, the user gets a tool whose aggressive cutting and extremely long maintenance of working sharpness perfectly compensate for the aforementioned inconveniences.
Proven lock
The head lock is, of course, Axis-lock, Benchmade's flagship mechanism, prized for its immense resistance to stress, insensitivity to dirt and ease of use. The double-sided lever can be conveniently operated with the left or right hand.
Military handle
Thanks to the use of 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum facings, the knife's construction is extremely lightweight (76 g) and much more durable. Aggressive texturing of the handle and its widening at the base ensure a firm grip on the knife while working.
Wide clip with the option to translate (left/right), also allows the knife to be carried in a pocket or tactical accessory. The handle is finished with an aluminum insert with a tungsten carbide pin, which can act as a hammer blow tool or as an emergency glass breaker.
