Benchmade 537FE-2601 Bailout Taiga Green Aluminum S90V FDE Battlewash Folding Knife (3.38" Blade)

The Benchmade Bailout runs elite S90V steel in its Taiga Green build, a USA-made tanto folder pairing a puncturing FDE Battlewash tip with a flat grind that still slices clean.

• S90V FDE Battlewash Tanto Blade - S90V is a premium stainless with elite edge retention, holding a working edge longer than most production steels. That same high vanadium makes it stubborn to sharpen, so use diamond or CBN stones. The reinforced tanto tip pierces while the thin flat grind slices clean.
• AXIS Lock Ambidextrous Crossbar - The AXIS crossbar snaps into place with a solid, audible click and locks up with no wobble. The ambidextrous mechanism works from either side without fingers crossing the edge. Dual thumb studs ride a bronze washer pivot, so deployment stays smooth yet quick to flick open.
• Taiga Green Aluminum Handle - Textured Taiga Green anodized aluminum gives the Bailout a premium look, its grip pattern more refined than aggressive but keeping the hand planted. Burnt Copper hardware warms the palette. The ultra-thin handle stays comfortable, with a rear lanyard loop for a cord.
• Mini Deep Carry Clip - A reversible Mini Deep Carry clip tucks the Bailout low and tight, riding discreet with retention that holds through movement. The slim profile eats almost no pocket space, and the light build makes it easy to forget until you reach for it. Tip-up carry works either hand.

The Benchmade Bailout

The Benchmade Bailout is a lightweight tactical folder built for serious capability without a weight penalty. The tanto blade centers the design on a reinforced, puncturing tip, paired with a slim aluminum handle that keeps the whole tool trim. Benchmade builds it in the USA around the ambidextrous AXIS platform, the same crossbar system that made the brand a benchmark for one-handed folders. The aluminum pommel runs past the handle as a lanyard slot and a hard scraping or striking surface, adding utility at the back end of the knife.
