Benchmade 495 Vector, Axis Assisted, Thumb Stud, Spear Point, Black G10, CPM S30V

Heavily milled G10 scales, stainless steel liners, and expressive styling take the 495 Vector AXIS-Assist flipper in an entirely different direction. Sized like a tactical blade with a feeling in the hand of a true EDC tool, the Vector can and will do everything you ask of it.AXIS LockA patented Benchmade exclusive, AXIS has been turning heads and winning fans ever since its introduction. A 100 percent ambidextrous design, AXIS gets its function from a small, hardened steel bar that rides forward and back in a slot machined into both steel liners. The bar extends to both sides of the knife, spans the liners and is positioned over the rear of the blade. It engages a ramped tang portion of the knife blade when it is opened. Two omega-style springs, one on each liner, give the locking bar its inertia to engage the knife tang. As a result, the tang is wedged solidly between a sizable stop pin and the AXIS bar itself.FeaturesCPM-S30V premium stainless steel spear point blade (58-60HRC)Black contoured G10 handle with stainless steel linersAXIS-Assist flipper with Reversible tip-up silver deep-carry pocket clipSpecificationsBlade Length: 3.60"Closed Length: 4.82"Overall Length: 8.42"Blade Material: CPM-S30V Stainless SteelBlade Thickness: 0.100"Blade Hardness: 58-60HRCBlade Style: Spear PointBlade Finish: SatinHandle Thickness: 0.60"Handle Material: Contoured Black G10Locking Mechanism: AXIS LockPocket Clip: Deep-Carry Tip-Up, Right/LeftWeight: 4.11 oz.Designer: BenchmadeMade in the USA
