Benchmade – 537-2301 – SHOT Show Exclusive – Bailout – Folding Knife – CPM 3V Satin Tanto – Aluminum – Orange

For those seeking a robust yet lightweight knife, the Benchmade 537-2301 Bailout pushes the envelope further. This SHOT Show 2023 Exclusive model features striking orange anodized aluminum handles and a CPM-3V tool steel blade, combining strength with a slim profile that’s up for any challenge. Diverging from the drop-point blades found in traditional Bugout models, the 537-2301’s blade adopts a Japanese profile tanto. This design choice enhances the tip strength of the blade while preserving excellent slicing performance. It’s a departure from the tanto designs seen on other Benchmade models like the Griptillian, AFO II, and Barrage, which feature a straight belly and sharp primary bevel.
