If you know knives, you know Benchmade. One of the most reputable and recognizable US-based knife manufacturers in the world, Benchmade boasts a wide array of pocket knives suitable for everyday carry, camping, hunting, self-protection, and any other scenario in which you might need a sharp object. Benchmades are a favorite by those in the military and law enforcement, for their knives tactility, strength, reliability, and the fact that everything from start to finish is done in the United States. From fixed blades to automatics, to their signature manual AXIS lock, Benchmade’s growing list of offerings continues to impress. With one of the best selections of EDC-style pocket knives, they’re sure to have a knife that you’ll quickly fall in love with. Known originally for their butterfly knives, hence their well-known logo, the company now is known as one of the most carried pocket knife brands on the market. Whether you’re adding to your collection or looking to pick up your first daily-use pocket knife, you surely can’t go wrong with looking in the direction of Benchmade.

One of the most popular AXIS-lock manuals coming out of Benchmade, the Bailout is a surprisingly rugged knife 100% made for everyday carry. Smooth opening action coming from a set of jimped thumb studs and an ultra-reliable and ambidextrous AXIS lock mechanism define the Bailout as a ready-to-go tool asking to be kept in your pocket. The grivory handle scales and nearly nonexistent liners help these knives become a super-lightweight carry. A textured inlay and spine-side jimping make the handle nearly impossible to drop during use or not. Featured at the butt of the handle on the Bailout is an aluminum pommel with an enlarged lanyard hole.

The CPM 3V blade, a tool steel made by Crucible, is heavy-duty and comes with a strong tanto edge shape. Coated with Benchmades signature smooth gray, these models define tacticality.

The mini deep-carry pocket clips are favorited by many knife-nuts, and comes coated black, in tip-up position, ready for the left-handed carry swap. All hardware, including the AXIS lock, pivot, and screws are blacked-out on this model Bailout. Only the blade, pommel, and single barrel spacer are gray. The Benchmade Bailout is popular for a reason, as it brings lightweight to the limit. Don’t let the feather-weight of this knife scare you, as it is ready to step up to any task that comes your way.

This is a manual pocket knife with a 3.3” blade and no safety lock. Please research and be aware of your local knife laws before purchasing and carrying a pocket knife. SRKT is an authorized dealer of Benchmade products.
