The new version of the Benchmade Bailout offers a modern take on one of the brand’s most popular tactical folding knives, combining extreme lightness and operational ruggedness in a minimalist yet highly functional design.

The tanto-style blade, crafted from CPM S90V steel with an FDE PVD Battlewash finish, offers excellent resistance to wear and corrosion, while maintaining a profile designed for versatile use: from the piercing capability typical of the tanto geometry to excellent efficiency in continuous cutting.

The knife opens via dual thumb studs with a bronze washer pivot, while the textured Taiga Green aluminum handle ensures a secure and controlled grip even in demanding conditions. Burnt copper accents and the lanyard loop add character and functionality to the design.

The ambidextrous AXIS-Lock closure system ensures reliability and smooth operation, making the Bailout a tactical EDC perfectly suited for both right- and left-handed users. Rounding out the package is the reversible Mini Deep Carry clip for discreet and secure carry.

A knife designed for those seeking a true balance between lightness, durability, and operational performance—without compromise.
