Benchmade 781 Anthem Blasted Titanium Integral Dark Stonewash CPM-20CV AXIS Lock Folder

The first ever single-billet, integral construction titanium frame folder from Benchmade is music to our ears. The 781 Anthem is a feat of technical engineering combined seamlessly with functional design and aesthetics. Top of the line materials like CPM-20CV and billet titanium make this one of Benchmade's best performances to date.

Brand new, direct from Benchmade, USA.

Blade: Blasted and tumbled CPM-20CV offers exceptional wear and corrosion resistance delivering premium performance in the Anthem's long sweeping drop point blade. A high saber grind gives the blade a fine tip for piercing and detail work while retaining durability with a good combination of toughness and slicing performance on the plain cutting edge. Equipped with a ball bearing pivot, the blade opens fast and smooth via dual thumb studs.

Handle: Milled from a single billet of titanium the integral construction of this handle makes the Anthem exceptionally strong while being relatively lightweight. A 3D machined chevron pattern paired with a matte grey media blast finish give this knife a modern, yet timeless look. The chevron pattern also give plenty of grip in hand in conjunction with the ergonomic design. The ambidextrous AXIS lock mechanism makes this knife a perfect choice for left- and right-handed users while the custom hardware fits nicely with the high-end feel of the knife.

Carries via a reversible, tip-up, 3D Chevron patterned titanium clip.

CPM 20CV: CPM 20CV is a highly wear-resistant, powder metallurgy stainless tool steel, an analog to Bohler's M390, and offers some of the best corrosion resistance and wear resistance in combination with a relative ease of sharpening. These properties along with a working hardness in the low 60s HRC make 20CV a prime choice among custom and production makers.
