New from Benchmade: The Bailout: If you liked the Bugout, but want something with a bit more heft, the Bailout might be a good fit for you. The slim and ultralight design of the Bailout offers users an optimal strength-to-weight ratio. Black Grivory handles, a tanto CPM-3V blade, and aluminum pommel complete a package that cuts weight while maintaining durability. The Bailout is designed to be a workhorse without adding bulk to a loadout kit. The black handle and tactical grey Cerokote combine to create a knife that will remain low profile with a minimal reflective profile but have a very nice aesthetic color contrast. Benchmade approached the development of this knife with the same weight saving mentality that went into the stellar Bugout, with the added goal of a creating a model that would be up to the challenge of harder tasks. The handle size is slightly larger, with an added flare guard, to accommodate gloved hands and prevent sliding up the handle. Open, the Bailout is .06” longer than the Bugout and weighs only 0.20oz more. Handle – Black Grivory Blade Length – 3.38” Closed Length – 4.71” Weight – 2.05 oz Mechanism – AXIS Lock Available 4/26 MSRP:$170 #knives #newknives #newproduct #edc #edclife #edccommunity #edcknife #knifelife #knifecommunity #knifestagram

The whole cutting-up guns controversy has ebbed somewhat, but Benchmade may never recover completely.  The knife looks pretty sweet though.
