Drop point profile blade
The knife uses a blade with a usable drop-point profile, made of high-quality CPM-S90V stainless steel hardened to a hardness of 59-61 HRC. CPM-S90V is a luxurious stainless steel with high vanadium and carbon content, which make the blade stay sharp for a long time, highly resistant to abrasion and corrosion. The shape of the head, the type of grinding and the quality of the steel used make the blade maintain excellent working sharpness for a long time and have outstanding cutting properties.
Folding knife equipped with a solid and secure locking mechanism
Benchmade's flagship mechanism, the double-sided axis-lock, valued for its tremendous mechanical strength, resistance to dirt, and ease of use for right- and left-handed users. A double-sided pin made of anodized aluminum with a contrasting red color is used to unfold the blade with one hand.
The handle is made of carbon fiber, which had a significant impact, reducing the weight of the knife. There is a hole in the back of the handle for a safety cable.
