The Benchmade Bailout 537GY‑03 is designed for hard-use and tactical carry. Its blade is crafted from CPM‑M4 high-speed steel (62–64 HRC) for exceptional edge retention and resilience. The blade length is 3.38″, and it features a robust tanto point for piercing strength, in a finished tungsten gray Cerakote coating.
The handle is precision-milled from 6061-T6 anodized aluminum, colored black, with a diamond-textured pattern for grip. The knife employs Benchmade’s AXIS locking mechanism, which is ambidextrous and reliable under stress. A mini deep-carry pocket clip (reversible) ensures discreet, accessible carry, and a carbide glass breaker in the pommel adds emergency utility.
Weighing just 2.7 oz and compact when closed (4.69″), this tactical folder is rugged enough for field or daily use without being cumbersome.
