This design excels at controlled cutting tasks and reduces the risk of accidental punctures during detailed work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow does the AXIS lock mechanism work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AXIS lock uses a spring-loaded bar that moves forward and back in the handle. Push the bar forward to release the blade, and it automatically locks when the blade opens fully. The system works equally well for left and right-handed users.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I adjust the pocket clip for different carry positions?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, the standard pocket clip is reversible and designed for tip-up carry. You can mount it on either side of the handle to match your preferred hand and pocket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat type of steel is 154CM and how should I maintain it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e154CM is a premium stainless steel that balances edge retention with corrosion resistance. The blade is hardened to 58-61 HRC for optimal performance. Clean and dry the blade after use, and sharpen when needed using standard knife sharpening methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes this knife come with a sheath or case?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, this model does not include a sheath. The pocket clip and folding design are intended for everyday pocket carry without additional accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Benchmade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43773586473059,"sku":"30168","price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/7546\/5827\/files\/30168.jpg?v=1760233137","url":"https:\/\/tacticaledge.com\/products\/550bkghsn-sand-griptillian-sheepsfoot-black-plain-edge-30168","provider":"tacticaledge.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
