Designed for professionals and enthusiasts who demand precision, durability, and quick deployment, this knife combines a rugged build with lightweight portability. Its balanced design, ergonomic handle, and premium materials make it ideal for both practical tasks and high-stress situations where reliability is essential.
At the core of the Bailout is a 3.38-inch Flat Earth-colored tanto blade crafted from S90V stainless steel, heat-treated to 59–61 HRC. Known for its exceptional hardness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance, S90V steel delivers a blade that remains razor-sharp through demanding use. The tanto profile provides a reinforced tip for piercing tasks, while the straight edge allows for precise slicing, giving the knife versatility across a wide range of cutting applications. With a thickness of 0.09 inches, the blade maintains strength and rigidity without sacrificing precision or control.
The handle is made from 6061-T6 aluminum in a striking Taiga Green finish, providing a lightweight yet robust frame. Measuring 0.41 inches thick, it offers a comfortable and secure grip, reducing fatigue during extended use while ensuring consistent control. The Bailout’s handle is designed for ergonomics and balance, giving users confidence whether performing everyday tasks or handling tactical scenarios. Its anodized finish not only enhances durability but also provides a distinctive, professional appearance.
The Bailout employs Benchmade’s AXIS® Lock, a proven mechanism known for smooth, ambidextrous, one-handed operation and reliable blade lockup. The overall length of 8.09 inches when open ensures sufficient reach and functional leverage, making it versatile enough for both detailed work and heavier cutting tasks.
