Benchmade - Folding knife 9101SBK
The Benchmade Auto Stryker 9101SBK is an automatic tactical knife featuring a partially serrated CPM 154 stainless steel blade, an enlarged deployment button and solid anodized aluminum liners.
Blade
The knife has a slim 91 mm long blade, made of hard 154CM tool steel, hardened to a hardness of 58-61 HRC. 154CM is a high-carbon stainless steel enriched with molybdenum, so it can be described as an improved version of 440C.
American 154CM steel is valued for its resistance to corrosion and wear (high impact strength), long maintenance of working sharpness, and relative ease of sharpening.
Large blade with tactical tanto profile coated with a layer of black Teflon, which protects against minor scratches and emphasizes the tactical nature of the knife.
The tanto has a geometric kink of the cutting edge (devoid of a belly), which contributes to the high strength of the stab. The blade of this shape cuts aggressively, is resistant to breakage, and can also be used for undermining. The back section of the ridge has been raised and transverse cutters have been made on it to allow the finger to rest stably while working.
Partially serrated blade makes it easy to cut hard (e.g., plastic and bone) and fibrous materials (ropes, belts, webbing). Combo blades (a combination of smooth and serrated cutting edge) are favored by soldiers, rescue workers, and those looking for tools with a wider range of applications.
Knife operation
The main advantage of the automatic knife, is a convenient and fast unfolding system. Unlike models with an assisted head, in an automatic knife unfolding of the blade requires only pressing a button, which is responsible for releasing the lock and activating the internal spring.
Folding the blade requires pushing the button again and manually retracting the blade. Such functionality makes the "automats" very popular among soldiers, uniformed service personnel and edc enthusiasts.
The release button is embedded in a milled cutout, so it does not protrude above the handle. The knife uses an additional locking device to prevent accidental pressing of the activation button and folding of the blade. The slide of the second safety mechanism is located on the back of the handle.
When using an automatic knife, it is recommended to exercise extreme caution and prudence.
Handle
The knife has ergonomic 6061-T6 anodized aircraft aluminum facings forming a monolithic whole with the backspacer. Thanks to precision 3D machining, the handle has a striking design and good grip, which is provided by deep cutters and ergonomic shape.
The black anodized coating is resistant to fading, scratching and abrasion, which guarantees the attractive appearance of the knife for a long time.
Discreetly carrying the knife in your pocket allows you to standard clip with the possibility of fixing in 4 positions.
