The Benchmade Bailout 537-09 Bhler M390, Carbon Fiber, Sapphire Blue, pocket knife is a nice EDC pocket knife in the colour grey, black. With its blade length of 8.5 cm, this knife is ideal for easy carrying. When closed, it’s only 12.3 cm long, and it weighs 62 g. Opening the Benchmade Bailout 537-09 Bhler M390, Carbon Fiber, Sapphire Blue, pocket knife is easily done with one hand using the thumb stud. The pocket knife runs on phosphor bronze washers making opening and closing smooth and easy. Once opened, the axis lock ensures the blade is fixed in place. It prevents the pocket knife from accidentally closing. A cool feature of an axis lock is that it can be easily used by both left-handed and right-handed users. ## Blade made from Bhler M390 steelThe blade of the Benchmade Bailout 537-09 Bhler M390, Carbon Fiber, Sapphire Blue, pocket knife is made of Bhler M390. This is premium steel from Austria that is immensely popular for pocket knives, because M390 stays sharp for an incredibly long time. Moreover, it’s very stainless. This makes it an excellent choice for a pocket knife you carry with you every day. Because M390 is incredibly hard, we recommend sharpening this pocket knife with diamond sharpening stones or ceramic sharpening stones, or a sharpening system that uses these sharpening stones. The stonewash process was chosen for the finish of this blade. The stonewash process involves the blade being placed inside a drum with ceramic stones, or media, and then vibrated or tumbled for several hours. The result is a finish that looks precisely polished or roughened depending on the version. The advantage of stonewashing, however, is that signs of use are much less noticeable. That makes it a popular choice for knives that see a lot of use. ## Carbon-fibre handle The handle of this Benchmade Bailout 537-09 Bhler M390, Carbon Fiber, Sapphire Blue, pocket knife is made of carbon fibre, and measures 12.3 cm in length. Carbon fibre is an incredibly strong material. For the handles of pocket knives, carbon fibre sheet material is used. The carbon fibres, often first woven, are pressed into a strong resin under high pressure. The result is a super strong, lightweight material. It is no coincidence that this type of carbon fibre is also very popular in the construction of sports cars and racing cars, as well as in the aerospace industry. Carbon fibre is a fantastic material for a knife handle, as it keeps the handle nicely lightweight without having to compromise on strength. Moreover, carbon fibre looks amazing. The layers in the material give carbon fibre a high-tech look. ## About BenchmadeBenchmade was founded in 1987 by Les de Asis in California. It began as a small company producing butterfly knives.
