{"product_id":"benchmade-bailout-aluminum-m4","title":"Benchmade Bailout Aluminum | CPM-M4 | Tanto","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the Bailout built for people who care more about how an edge holds than how easy it is to bring back. Anodized 6061-T6 aluminum handles and a \u003cstrong\u003eCPM-M4 blade at 62-64 HRC\u003c\/strong\u003e — harder than anything else in Benchmade's folding range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRead this before you buy: M4 is a tool steel, not stainless.\u003c\/strong\u003e It will develop surface rust if it is put away wet, left in a damp pack, or carried against sweat and forgotten. It is not a defect and it is not covered as one. Wipe it down, keep a light oil on the blade, and it will outlast you. Neglect it and it will spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat you get for that care is edge retention that genuinely outclasses stainless. M4 at 62-64 HRC holds a working edge through jobs that would have you stropping an S30V blade twice. It is the steel to pick if you cut a lot of abrasive material and you are willing to maintain it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tanto grind stacks mass behind the point, so it takes piercing and prying abuse that would worry a drop-point. At 2.7 ounces it is still a light knife by any sane measure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSerrated versions cut webbing, rope and seatbelt far better than a plain edge and are much harder to sharpen at home. Plain edge is the better all-rounder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModels\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e537SGY-1 · 537FE-02 · 537GY-03 · 537SGY-03\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Steel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCPM-M4 High-Speed Tool Steel (62-64 HRC) — not stainless\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Style\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTanto\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.38\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.09\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6061-T6 Anodized Aluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.41\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOpen Length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.09\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.7 oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLock Mechanism\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAXIS Lock\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClip\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMini Deep Carry, tip-up, black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanyard Hole\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade In\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOregon City, Oregon, USA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBacked for Life\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Benchmade carries a limited lifetime warranty and free \u003cstrong\u003eLifeSharp\u003c\/strong\u003e service — send it in dull and dirty, get it back razor sharp, for as long as you own it.
