Key Features

- Impressive Partially Serrated Tanto-Lemmet: The blade features a robust Tanto design, partially serrated. The combination of a smooth cut for precision work and serrations for effortlessly cutting through tough materials (such as rope or fiber) makes this knife extremely versatile for a variety of tasks.
- Revolutionary CPM MagnaCut Steel: What makes the blade truly special is the use of CPM MagnaCut. This is a revolutionary stainless steel that excels in an unmatched combination of toughness (resistant to chipping and breaking), long-lasting sharpness retention, and outstanding corrosion resistance. This makes the knife extremely suitable for demanding and humid conditions.
- Protective Battlewash DLC-Coating: The blade is finished in a black Battlewash DLC-coating (Diamond-Like Carbon). This coating not only gives the knife a tough, tactical look, but also effectively protects against corrosion, increases wear resistance and reduces unwanted reflection.
- Smooth Opening and AXIS® Lock Mechanism: The knife opens smoothly via the thumb stud on the side of the blade. Once opened, it locks securely thanks to the proven AXIS® Lock mechanism. This innovative technique, developed by Benchmade in 1988, uses a spring-loaded rod to hold the blade securely in place, providing optimal safety and ambidextrous handling.
- Lightweight Aluminum Handle with ‘Burnt Copper’ Finish: The handle is made of anodized aluminum with a unique ‘burnt copper’ finish. This makes for a surprisingly lightweight (only 77 grams total weight), but extremely strong handle that can withstand intensive use. The ergonomic design ensures a comfortable and secure grip even during prolonged use.
- Compact and Portable: With an overall length of 20.5 cm (blade 8.5 cm, handle 12.0 cm), the Bailout is perfect for EveryDay Carry.
- Reversible Carry Clip and Cord Eye: Finally, the Bailout is equipped with a reversible tip-up pocket clip (for both left- and right-carrying) and a cord eye, so you can carry the knife your way. Functional, discreet and always within easy reach.

The Benchmade Bailout offers significant advantages for professionals, outdoor enthusiasts and anyone who needs a reliable, compact and multifunctional pocket knife. The primary advantage is the unprecedented performance and durability of the CPM MagnaCut steel. This blade stays sharp longer, is extremely tough and virtually immune to corrosion, which is essential for demanding use in a variety of conditions. You have one knife that can handle everything from everyday tasks to emergency situations.

The combination of smooth and serrated cut makes the knife extremely versatile, suitable for both precision work and cutting difficult materials. The AXIS® Lock mechanism ensures extremely secure locking and smooth, reliable operation, contributing to both safety and efficiency. The lightweight but robust aluminum handle and carrying options allow the Bailout to be carried comfortably and discreetly, always ready for action. This is an investment in top quality and peace of mind.

Opening: Push up the thumb stud on the side of the blade and swing the blade open. The AXIS® Lock mechanism locks automatically. Always check that the blade is fully locked before use.

- Cutting: Use the smooth cut for general cutting tasks. Use the serrations for cutting through fibrous materials such as rope, tires or cardboard.
- AXIS Lock Close: Pull the AXIS Lock bar back (toward the handle) and fold the blade closed with a smooth motion.
- Convenience: Attach the reversible pocket clip to your pocket, belt or backpack. Use the lanyard eye to attach a lanyard for added security and quick retrieval.
- Maintenance: Clean the blade after use with the included cloth (if applicable) and dry thoroughly. Although CPM MagnaCut is highly corrosion resistant, for optimal preservation it is recommended that the knife be rinsed with fresh water and lightly oiled after contact with salt water.
