The Bugout theyve all been waiting for. Blacked out from tip to tail, this Bugout will be a favorite amongst customers of all lifestyles. Re-engineered with Benchmades new CF-Elite handle technology, the 535SBK-2 weighs in slightly lighter than its predecessors, yet boasts greater rigidity under pressure. Just when you thought the Bugout couldnt get any lighter Features AXIS Mechanism – A patented Benchmade exclusive, AXIS has been turning heads and winning fans ever since its introduction. A 100 percent ambidextrous design, AXIS gets its function from a small, hardened steel bar that rides forward and back in a slot machined into both steel liners. The bar extends to both sides of the knife, spans the liners and is positioned over the rear of the blade. It engages a ramped tang portion of the knife blade when it is opened. Two omega-style springs, one on each liner, give the locking bar its inertia to engage the knife tang. As a result, the tang is wedged solidly between a sizable stop pin and the AXIS bar itself. CF-Elite Handle – Benchmade’s newest handle material is ultralight and ultrastrong, made from a carbon fiber reinforced nylon polymer CPM-S30V Steel – American made premium powdered steel designed specifically for knives. Offering excellent corrosion resistance and superior edge qualities this steel is perfect for everyday use or specialized outdoor activities. Specifications Mechanism: AXIS Blade Length: 3.24\
