Taiga Green is a limited colourway, and Benchmade has already set a discontinue date of December 31, 2026. When these are gone they are gone — there is no restocking this one.
Under the anodizing it is a well-judged build. CPM-S90V at 59-61 HRC is a high-vanadium stainless that sits between S30V and M390 on edge retention, and firmly on the stainless side of the line — no rust worries, unlike the M4 Bailouts. Anodized 6061-T6 aluminum handles, black Cerakote tanto blade, 2.7 ounces.
The tanto grind stacks steel behind the point for piercing and prying, and the AXIS lock opens and closes one-handed from either side.
Same $350 as the Crater Blue and Burnt Copper versions. The difference is that in a year you will not be able to buy this one.
