Lightweight folding EDC (Every Day Carry) knife featuring a Drop-Point blade profile. Constructed from premium CPM-S90V stainless steel, the blade is renowned for its outstanding abrasion resistance. Tempered to a hardness of 59-61 HRC, the blade features a flat grind with a satin finish, delivering a semi-matte appearance that efficiently camouflages minor scratches during use. The spine of the blade incorporates jimping to enhance cutting precision.
A double-sided thumb stud provides ambidextrous one-handed blade deployment. For maximum safety and strength under stress, the Axis Lock sliding lock mechanism prevents accidental closure and unwanted blade opening during carry.
Ergonomically contoured handle scales are crafted from lightweight, robust carbon fiber. A Lanyard Hole at the handle's end accommodates a safety cord, while a two-position steel clip enables tip-up carry, configurable for either right or left side.

Benchmade Knife Company is an American brand founded in 1988 by Les de Asis in Oregon, with roots dating back to the 1970s when it operated as Bali-Song. The company became famous for producing folding and combat knives, and its butterfly logo refers to the first balisong models, which were awarded the title of Knife of the Year in 1979. Today, Benchmade manufactures knives in three lines: Blue Class, Black Class, and Gold Class, using modern powder steels such as S30V, M390, and CPM-20CV, and the patented Axis Lock, valued for its reliability and smooth operation. Among the brand's icons are the Griptilian, Bugout, 940 Osborne, Infidel, and Bushcrafter models, and the company regularly collaborates with renowned knifemakers such as Mel Pardue, Warren Osborne, and Ernest Emerson. Benchmade was the first knife manufacturer in the US to implement fully automated CNC production, achieving unprecedented precision and repeatability in the industry.
