CPM-S30V Stainless Steel

S30V is a high-end stainless steel specifically crafted for knife blades. Its unique powder-metal construction creates an even spread of carbides for outstanding steel qualities and offers superior resistance to corrosion, lasting sharpness, and a well-balanced edge for tackling everyday tasks.

AXIS Lock

An iconic Benchmade model, AXIS has gained global recognition since its launch. Its 100 percent ambidextrous design uses a small, hardened steel bar, positioned between two steel liners on either side of the knife. This bar extends to both sides and contacts the tang of the blade, providing a lock-up when the knife is opened. Two omega-style springs, one placed on each liner, gives the locking bar the pressure to secure the tang between the stop pin and the AXIS bar.

    Great Knife!

    This is one of the great knives from Benchmade. A solid performer with excellent blade steel and outstanding ergonomics. You cannot get a better deal or better service than ordering from North River Outdoors!
