Brand new, direct from Benchmade Knives, USA.

Blade: The classic drop point blade delivers solid utility, with a durable black poly-ceramic Cerakote finish for added corrosion resistance and discreet use. Plain edge M390 provides top-end performance and clean slicing. Phosphor bronze washers and dual red anodized aluminum thumb studs deliver smooth ambidextrous operation.

Handle: Gray anodized milled aluminum handle scales provide style and traction with added heft and rigidity. Red anodized aluminum barrel spacers add a pop of color, completing lightweight open back construction. An oversized pommel hole allows for lanyard attachment, while the black coated titanium lock bar gives the AXIS lock smooth operation and solid, secure lockup.

Carries via a reversible tip-up stainless steel mini deep carry clip.

Bohler M390: Bohler M390 (analog to CPM-20CV and CTS-204P) is a premium powder metallurgy (PM) stainless steel with high carbide content for some of the highest edge retention and corrosion resistance, while being relatively easy to sharpen. A popular choice for high-end production and custom knives. Relatively high carbide volume and coarse microstructure gives this steel lower toughness.
