On the opposite end, you’ll find a pair of black Grivory handle scales, which are incredibly lightweight, stable and — thanks to their machining pattern — grippy in just about any conditions. The handle also has the brand’s signature AXIS (crossbar) lock.
The tail of the handle features the knife’s signature “bail” from which its name is derived. It can be used as a prybar, ad-hoc driver and a lanyard attachment point. With all of this and more, it’s clear why the Bailout is such a popular series.
Pricing and availability
Usually, this Benchmade Bailout Black Grivory EDC knife costs $200. However, it’s on sale for 20 percent off, bringing the price down to $160.
You can find it on the brand’s site or over at Blade HQ. However, it likely won’t stay in stock at this price for long.
