  • AXIS® A 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 which rides forward and back in a slot machined into both steel liners. The bar extends to both sides of the knife, spanning the liners and 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 it’s inertia to engage the knife tang, and as a result the tang is wedged solidly between a sizable stop pin and the AXIS bar itself.

Cons: Lock Type, None
Best knife I've ever owned
This knife is amazing! The blade came sharp enough to shave with, right out of the box and has yet to dull. The steel used is far supieor to that used by Cold Steel and Sog. The handle feels very durable and open assist is what you'd expect from Benchmade. The only thing I am concerned about is the lock. It does seem cheap, but so far it has not given me any trouble. I highly recomend this knife to anyone willing to spend a little extra to get something that will last forever.
