Benchmade 2023 Exclusive Bailout AXIS Folding Knife

For those looking for something a little more robust, the 537-2301 Bailout takes lightweight strength one step further. Outfitted with orange anodized aluminum handles and a CPM-3V tool steel blade, this SHOT Show 2023 Exclusive Bailout can hang with the best of them despite its slim profile.

Differing from the drop-point blades of the traditional Bugout models, the 537's blade mimics a Japanese profile tanto, as opposed to the tanto Benchmade has used on models like the Griptillian, AFO II, and Barrage that sport a straight belly and crisp primary bevel. This design was influenced by a desire to embolden the tip strength of the blade while maintaining superior slicing performance.
