Benchmade 431BK-1 Redoubt Folding Knife

The Benchmade 431BK-1 Redoubt folding knife from the Black Class series is an ideal choice for both everyday carry (EDC) and tactical use. With its robust D2 tool steel blade and minimalist design, this knife bridges the gap between practical utility and tactical performance.

Features of the Benchmade 431BK-1 Redoubt Folding Knife:

• D2 Tool Steel: The 90mm blade is made from high-quality CPM-D2 steel, hardened to 60-62 HRC. This steel variant provides exceptional wear resistance, long-lasting sharpness, and ease of sharpening.
• Tanto Profile: The blade’s Tanto profile, coated with Cerakote®, enhances corrosion resistance and gives the knife a distinctive military look.
• Axis Lock Mechanism: The double-sided Axis Lock offers reliable safety and durability. It is easy to operate for both right- and left-handed users and is resistant to dirt.
• Grivory Handle: The handle is crafted from Grivory, a glass-epoxy laminate known for its lightweight, high mechanical strength, and resistance to chemicals and temperature fluctuations. The aggressive texture ensures a secure grip.
• One-Handed Operation: The blade can be swiftly deployed with one hand using the double-sided thumb studs, while phosphor bronze washers ensure smooth movement.
• Lanyard Hole: A hole in the handle allows for attaching a lanyard or decorative paracord.
• Discreet Carry: The high-set clip provides convenient pocket carry.

The Benchmade 431BK-1 Redoubt features a Tanto profile and a 90mm blade with Cerakote® coating for added protection and a tactical appearance. The Axis Lock mechanism ensures secure blade retention, and the Grivory handle offers both comfort and durability.
