Frequently Asked Questions

What makes CPM-M4 steel different from other blade steels?

CPM-M4 is a premium tool steel that offers excellent edge retention and toughness. At 62-64 HRC hardness, it maintains a sharp edge longer than most stainless steels while remaining tough enough for hard-use applications.

Can the pocket clip be moved to different positions?

Yes, the mini deep-carry clip is reversible, allowing you to configure it for left or right-hand carry based on your preference.

Is this knife suitable for tactical applications?

The Bailout is designed for rescue, survival, and tactical use. The tanto blade design provides a reinforced tip for piercing tasks, while the lightweight aluminum construction keeps it practical for everyday carry.

What does the gray coating do for the blade?

The gray coating provides a non-reflective finish that reduces glare in tactical situations and adds corrosion resistance to the CPM-M4 steel blade.
