Benchmade 537BK-10 Bailout

Looking for a tactical folding knife that pushes the ratio of strength to weight to the limit? The Benchmade 537BK-10 Bailout® is made for professional users and outdoor people who keep going long after the tarmac ends. This top model in the Bailout series pairs a light carbon fibre handle with one of the most uncompromising steels available, giving you a dependable tool in your pocket.

Precision-machined carbon fibre and dark copper details

Visually and structurally, the 537BK-10 is built to perform in hard conditions:

• Diamond-textured carbon fibre handle: The handle is machined from genuine carbon fibre with a non-slip diamond texture. This gives very high structural stiffness and torsional stability, while keeping the total weight to just 61.83 g. You hardly notice the knife in your pocket, yet it is solid in use.

• Dark copper accents: The black carbon fibre look is offset by details in a dark copper finish on the pivot ring and the integrated pommel (lanyard hole/glass breaker) at the base of the handle.

Tanto blade in CPM-S90V steel

The blade is designed for professionals, military, police and demanding bushcraft users, where failure is not an option:

• Very long edge retention (59-61 HRC): The 85.9 mm blade is made of high-tech CPM-S90V stainless powder steel. With its high content of vanadium carbides, this steel offers very high wear resistance and stays sharp considerably longer than common steels.

• Tactical tanto profile with Cerakote®: The classic tanto shape gives a very strong point that is ideal for piercing and hard cutting tasks. The blade is protected by a matt black Cerakote® coating that minimises reflections and protects against scratches and corrosion.

AXIS® Lock and fully Ambidextrous

The Bailout is part of Benchmade's Black Class (professional gear) and has the well-known AXIS® Lock. This mechanical lock uses a steel bar across the frame that locks the blade solidly. It allows fast one-handed operation under pressure – even with gloves on. The knife is fully Ambidextrous, as the lock can be operated from both sides and the fitted Mini Deep Carry pocket clip is easily reversed.

The knife is Made in USA and delivers uncompromising survival performance for everyday use or your next big wilderness trip.
