Premium Blade Performance

The versatile Drop Point blade features a Stonewash finish with a matte appearance that resists scratches and fingerprints while reducing unwanted reflections. Manufactured from CPM MagnaCut powder steel, it represents one of the most advanced blade materials available today.

The 91 mm blade benefits from MagnaCut's innovative microstructure, which minimizes chromium carbides to improve sharpening while maintaining exceptional wear resistance. This advanced steel combines the toughness of CPM-4V, the corrosion resistance of CPM-20CV, and the edge retention associated with CPM-CruWear and CPM-4V. Hardened to 60–62 HRC, it delivers outstanding performance in demanding conditions.

Perfectly Balanced for Flipping

The Benchmade 82 Laro is engineered for precise and controlled manipulation. Its carefully shifted center of gravity, lightweight titanium handles, and strategically placed blade cutouts create outstanding balance, allowing smooth and accurate flipping.

The blade pivots on stainless steel ball bearings, providing fluid deployment and dependable operation while maintaining a simple construction that is easy to maintain.

Titanium Channel Handles

The channel-style handles are precision-machined from solid titanium, offering an ideal combination of low weight and exceptional durability. Titanium provides complete resistance to corrosion, mechanical wear, heat, acids, and saltwater, making it suitable for demanding environments.

Chamfered and rounded handle edges improve grip and comfort, ensuring better control during extended use and advanced manipulation.

Magnetic T-Latch System

The integrated magnetic T-latch securely holds the knife in both the open and closed positions. Magnetic inserts prevent the latch from striking the handles during flipping while keeping the knife firmly secured when closed. The design also enables quick and convenient one-handed deployment.

Secure Carry

The knife comes with a durable Kydex sheath equipped with a practical clip, allowing safe attachment to a pocket, belt, or other gear. Combining premium materials, precision engineering, and timeless balisong design, the Benchmade 82 Laro is an excellent choice for collectors, enthusiasts, and users seeking top-tier performance.
