Tactical Everyday Carry Knife

The Benchmade Bailout is a new folding knife built for tactical situations and daily carry. Its 3.4 inch CPM-M4 tanto blade and diamond-textured anodized aluminum handle deliver an optimal strength-to-weight ratio. The 2023 colorway adds a Tungsten Gray Cerakote finish on the blade with a black handle for a low-profile appearance.

AXIS Lock and Pocket Integration

The knife uses Benchmade's AXIS Lock mechanism for secure blade deployment and ambidextrous operation. A slim profile allows it to sit deep in a pocket without bulk, freeing up space for other essential gear. The aluminum handle construction keeps weight minimal while maintaining rigidity for hard-use tasks.

Cerakote Finish and Material Benefits

The Tungsten Gray Cerakote coating on the blade enhances corrosion resistance and reduces reflection during field use. CPM-M4 blade steel provides high wear resistance and edge retention for extended cutting performance. The anodized aluminum handle resists scratches and maintains grip texture through repeated handling cycles.

Questions about this item

How long does the 3.4 inch CPM-M4 blade hold an edge under heavy daily cutting?

CPM-M4 is a high-wear-resistant tool steel, so the edge stays sharp through extended cardboard, rope and wood processing before needing a touch-up.

Does the aluminum handle get slippery or hot during prolonged outdoor use?

The diamond-textured anodized surface maintains grip when wet or sweaty, and the metal dissipates heat quickly so it stays comfortable in the hand.

What carry method does the knife require right out of the box?

A reversible deep-carry pocket clip is installed, so the knife can be clipped inside a pocket or on a belt without any extra hardware.
