The 58-60 HRC hardness provides the right balance of edge retention and toughness for daily carry tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I carry this knife tip-up or tip-down?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, the mini deep-carry clip is reversible and can be configured for tip-up or tip-down carry based on your preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow does the AXIS lock work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AXIS lock uses a spring-loaded bar that moves forward and back. Pull the bar back to open or close the blade. The system is ambidextrous and allows smooth one-handed operation from either side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the serrated edge difficult to sharpen?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSerrated edges require specialized sharpening tools like ceramic rods or diamond files. The serrations will maintain cutting performance longer than plain edges on fibrous materials, so they need sharpening less frequently.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat warranty does Benchmade provide?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBenchmade offers their LifeSharp service, which includes free sharpening and maintenance for the life of the knife when you register your purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Benchmade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43773840064611,"sku":"31679","price":127.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/7546\/5827\/files\/31679_5d12ab56-40cd-49fc-8a7c-9a79c1560207.jpg?v=1760238068","url":"https:\/\/tacticaledge.com\/products\/bugout-axis-drop-point-2","provider":"tacticaledge.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
