Benchmade, Bailout AXIS Folding Knife 3.38″ CPM-S30V Graphite Black Cerakote Tanto Plain Blade, Ranger Green Grivory Handles (537BK-06)

Now more EDC-friendly than ever, the 537BK-06 Bailout makes the jump into your daily carry rotation without sacrificing toughness and durability. Maintaining its tactical hard-use prowess with a piercing tanto blade, this slim and easily pocketable folder features ultralight Grivory handle scales with highly textured grip zones in Benchmade’s top-selling ranger green hue, CPM-S30V blade steel with a Graphite Black Cerakote finish for superb edge qualities and corrosion resistance, black oxide hardware, and an aluminum lanyard pommel minus the glass breaker for personalized carry options.

Differing from the drop-point blades of the traditional Bugout models, the 537’s blade mimics a Japanese profile tanto, as opposed to the tanto Benchmade has used on models like the Griptillian, AFO II, and Barrage that sport a straight belly and crisp primary bevel. This design was influenced by a desire to embolden the tip strength of the blade while maintaining superior slicing performance. Even with the addition of an aluminum pommel which includes a lanyard slot at the tail end of the handle, the 537 adheres to the 2-ounce precedent set by the Bugout.
