The colourful orange backspacer and pivot ring add a fun pop of colour to this rugged blade.

Why choose this knife?

• Ambidextrous knife can be used by both right and left-handed users
• Part of the Benchmade HUNT collection, a group of technologically advanced hunting knives
• Premium CPM-30CV steel resists rust and corrosion

Pro Tip:

The AXIS locking mechanism is exclusive to Benchmade knives. The lock is comprised of a spring-loaded bar, which slides back and forth in a flat slot cut out of both liners and side plates. When the blade is deployed, this bar engages a notch cut into the tang portion of the blade, causing it to become wedged solidly into place. This easily operated lock can be used with one hand and is a great option for both right and left-handed users.
