Benchmade 537GY Bailout Tanto Plain Edge Tactical Gray Cerakote 3V

The Bailout is the tactical evolution of the popular EDC Bugout folder from Benchmade Knives. The Bailout is part of the Black Class line and was built to be exceptionally tough while retaining a slim, ultralight design that is ready to go anywhere you do. The 537GY comes with a Tactical Gray Cerakote coated CPM-3V, plain edge, Tanto blade and Black Grivory handle with matching hardware.

Brand new, direct from Benchmade Knives. Made in the USA.

Blade: The tactical Tanto point blade provides overall utility as well as enhanced piercing performance. The tactical gray Cerakote finish is durable, discreet and corrosion resistant helping balance the ultra tough CPM-3V blade steel. A standard plain edge offers excellent cutting performance for general tasks. Dual, black coated thumb studs provide smooth, ambidextrous opening with a hydraulic operation thanks to the smooth tension from the AXIS Lock mechanism.

Handle: Black Grivory was chosen due to its light weight, high toughness and imperviousness to the elements. It has some light diamond texturing on both sides to aid in grip with a subtle, integral dual guard for added security. Black coated aluminum barrel spacers create an easy to maintain, open back construction. An extended aluminum pommel has a large milled slot for multiple lanyard attachment options. Benchmade stepped up the toughness with a DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coated titanium AXIS lock bar, delivering one of the toughest folders you can find at just over 2 ounces!

Carries via a reversible, tip-up, black coated, stainless steel deep carry clip.

CPM-3V: is a high carbon alloy steel that extremely tough and has enough chromium to have some corrosion resistance. However, care is required to prevent corrosion. The edge can be ground thin as it is tough enough to support a fine edge. 3V delivers the highest level of toughness while maintaining good edge retention, just under CPM S30V/S35VN.
