Benchmade - Folding knife 537GY-03 Bailout
Benchmade 537GY-3 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 and gray colored facings. The knife uses an 86mm blade with a Japanese tanto profile, made of made of high-quality CPM-M4 tool steel.
The shape of the wedge used provides increased tip strength while maintaining high cutting performance.
- 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
- New model 537GY-3 Bailout has a wedge made of 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, valued for its immense load resistance, 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 cladding, construction of the knife is extremely light (76 g) and much more durable. Aggressive handle texturing and its widening at the base ensure a firm grip on the knife during work.
- 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.

List of knife safety warnings based on requirements
Regulation (EU) 2023/988 on general product safety
(GPSR):
* Risk of injury: Use the knife carefully and always hold it by the handle. The blade is
very sharp and can cause serious cuts. Don't try to catch a falling
knife.
* Safe storage: the knife should be stored in a safe
place, out of reach of children and unauthorized persons. Use a blade guard if
is available.
* Use as intended: Do not use the knife for purposes for which it is not
intended, for example, for opening cans or loosening screws. This can lead to
knife damage or injury.
* Caution when cleaning: Use caution when cleaning the knife,
to avoid cuts. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents that can
damage the blade.
* Blade maintenance: Sharpen the blades regularly to keep them in good condition. Blunt
knives are more dangerous than sharp ones because they require more force, which
increases the risk of slipping.
* Transporting the knife: When transporting the knife, make sure the blade is secured,
for example, by using a vagina or sheath. This prevents accidental injuries.
* Keep your knife clean: Clean the knife regularly to remove any food debris
or other contaminants. This ensures safe and hygienic use.
* Do not modify the knife: Do not try to modify the knife or repair it yourself,
if you don't have the right skills. This can lead to damage to the knife
or injuries.
* Warning for children: knives are intended for adults only. Do not allow
children to use knives without supervision.
* Disposal: Dispose of used or damaged knives in a safe manner to
prevent accidental cuts.
This product is for adults only, who have knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can lead to serious injury. The blade of the knife is very sharp and can quickly cut through skin and tissues; so always be very careful when slicing and do not bring your hand close to the cutting edge. To avoid slipping of the knife, it is recommended to cut on a stable and non-slip surface and avoid excessive pressure, which can cause uncontrolled movement of the blade.
Be aware that leaving a knife on the edge of a table, countertop or in easy-to-reach places, especially for children, is a danger. The knife should always be properly secured after finishing work, preferably by putting it down on a stable surface or storing it in specially designed blocks, sheaths or on magnetic strips. Never use a knife for tasks for which it is not intended, such as opening cans or using it as a lever, as this risks both damage to the tool and dangerous accidents.
Blunt blades pose an increased risk of injury because they require more force and tend to slip off the material being cut. Therefore, care should be taken to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. It is also necessary to clean and dry the tool regularly to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. It is recommended to periodically inspect the condition of the handle and blade to detect any cracks, chipping or loosening. If damage is found, the knife should be immediately repaired or replaced with a new copy.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand, avoid talking on the phone or watching TV while slicing, and make sure your work area is well-lit. You are reminded that in some countries or regions there are laws restricting the possession and carrying of knives. Before buying or using a knife, it's a good idea to make sure that using it in your location is allowed under the current law.
Adherence to the above rules will enable safe and efficient use of the knife, minimizing the risk of accidents and ensuring the long life of the tool.
