Head
The length of the head is 74 mm. It is made of elite CPM-S30V stainless steel. Crucible Industries' S30V powder steel is hardened to an optimum hardness of 58-60 HRC, so it maintains high sharpness, mechanical strength and is resistant to corrosion.
Its high vanadium carbide content gives it high impact strength and wear resistance, as well as excellent cutting properties. The blade has been coated with a layer of black Teflon, protecting the blade from minor scratches.
The knife has a reverse-tanto profile blade with a pronounced false blade to reduce the weight of the blade.
The blade of the knife is easily and quickly unfolded with a double-sided peg, which is convenient for both right and left-handed people.
Lock
The blade is locked by Benchmade's flagship mechanism, the double-sided Axis-lock, which is prized for its tremendous mechanical strength, dirt resistance, and ease of use for both right- and left-handed users.
Handle
The knife has molded G10 composite facings with a distinctive scalloped surface, which provides high grip and sure handling of the knife. The profile of the handle at the base of the head is wider, which means that the hand will not slip on the blade while working.
The handle is reinforced by steel inserts and blue anodized spacer sleeves, contrasting strikingly with the knife's black color scheme. The linings are complemented by a resilient clip, allowing the knife to be conveniently carried in a pocket or on a belt.
