For those who demand something a little more robust, the Benchmade 537GY-1 Bailout takes lightweight tactical performance one step further. Built for military, law enforcement, first responders, and serious EDC users who need maximum strength without the bulk, this is two ounces of confidence you can count on when it matters most.

The 3.38" Japanese-profile tanto blade is crafted from CPM-M4 super tool steel (62-64 HRC) with a tungsten gray Cerakote finish — delivering unrivaled edge retention, exceptional toughness, and outstanding corrosion resistance in a slim, ultralight package. The tanto geometry was specifically chosen to maximize tip strength for piercing tasks while maintaining the slicing performance needed for everyday use. Dual ambidextrous thumb studs provide smooth, fast one-handed deployment, and Benchmade's AXIS Lock mechanism provides rock-solid lockup in any environment.

The woodland green anodized 6061-T6 aluminum handle is diamond-textured for a secure, confident grip under any conditions, while keeping overall weight to just 2.7 oz. The aluminum pommel at the base serves double duty as a lanyard slot and carbide glass breaker — a critical feature for first responders and emergency situations. The reversible mini deep-carry pocket clip rides tip-up on either side for ambidextrous low-profile carry. Proudly made in the USA and backed by Benchmade's LifeSharp lifetime sharpening service.
