AXIS Locking Mechanism

Benchmade uses the ambidextrous AXIS mechanism for locking its folding knives. Two omega-style springs, one per liner, create inertia in the locking bar so that it engages the knife tang. This security mechanism is unique to Benchmade knives.

CPM-M4

A powder-metal, non-stainless, special purpose high-speed steel with a combination of high carbon, moly, vanadium, and tungsten for excellent wear resistance and toughness. Due to its lower level of chrome content, it may require additional care to avoid corrosion.

G10

An extremely durable makeup of layers of fiberglass soaked in resin, then highly compressed and baked. Impervious to moisture or liquid and physically stable under a wide range of temperatures.
