Producing high-quality, handcrafted products is a collaborative enterprise and one at which Benchmade excels. Featuring marbled carbon fiber, mother of pearl, custom anodized accents, diamond-like carbon (DLC) coated hardware and an exclusive Loki patterned Damasteel blade, this unique addition to the Gold Class line has all the qualities of a true art knife.AXIS LockA patented Benchmade exclusive, AXIS has been turning heads and winning fans ever since its introduction. A 100 percent ambidextrous design, AXIS gets its function from a small, hardened steel bar that rides forward and back in a slot machined into both steel liners. The bar extends to both sides of the knife, spans the liners and is positioned over the rear of the blade. It engages a ramped tang portion of the knife blade when it is opened. Two omega-style springs, one on each liner, give the locking bar its inertia to engage the knife tang. As a result, the tang is wedged solidly between a sizable stop pin and the AXIS bar itself.
