This means better edge retention and easier sharpening compared to standard 440C or AUS-8 steels found in budget folders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan left-handed users operate the AXIS lock easily?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The AXIS lock works identically for both hands. The thumb studs and lock mechanism are fully ambidextrous, and the pocket clip reverses for left-handed carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow does the tanto blade perform for everyday tasks?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tanto profile excels at piercing cardboard, cutting rope, and detail work. The strong tip handles tougher tasks than drop-point blades, though it requires more care when sharpening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat warranty does Benchmade provide?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBenchmade backs this knife with their LifeSharp service for free sharpening and maintenance.

It resists impact damage and temperature extremes while keeping the overall weight under 3 ounces.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Benchmade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43773609869411,"sku":"32984","price":102.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/7546\/5827\/files\/32984_54bc88d7-f26c-4413-b263-1e79af48ee8c.jpg?v=1760233636","url":"https:\/\/tacticaledge.com\/products\/557-s30v-mini-griptilian","provider":"tacticaledge.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
