Product Description

The Benchmade Bailout 537-09 takes one of Benchmade's most respected tactical EDC platforms and elevates it with premium materials, refined styling, and exceptional cutting performance. Designed for users who demand strength without excess weight, the 537-09 combines a high-performance M390 blade with ultralight carbon fiber scales to create a knife that excels in both everyday carry and hard-use applications.

At the heart of the Bailout is a 3.38" tanto blade crafted from premium M390 stainless steel. Known for outstanding edge retention, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, M390 delivers long-lasting performance in a wide range of environments. The stonewashed finish enhances durability while complementing the knife's rugged, modern appearance.

The lightweight carbon fiber handle scales provide exceptional strength while keeping weight to an impressive 2.1 ounces. Sapphire Blue PVD hardware accents add a distinctive touch, giving the 537-09 a premium appearance without sacrificing the tactical DNA that made the Bailout famous.

Benchmade's renowned AXIS® Lock delivers smooth ambidextrous operation and secure lockup, while dual thumb studs allow rapid one-handed deployment. The slim profile, deep-carry pocket clip, and integrated lanyard slot make the Bailout an ideal companion for everyday carry, outdoor adventures, and professional use.

About brand

Benchmade Knife Company, Inc. set-up shop in Clackamas, Oregon in 1990 (originally founded in California in 1988). The initial knives primarily consisted of the Bali-Song knives, using a combination of outside vendors and inside processing to build finished products. And like most companies, starting out meant scarce money and big plans, using second hand equipment and limited resources.

Soon, a natural born fortitude and an undying passion to make it right and make it Benchmade, prospered into significant growth. As the product line grew so did the in-house capabilities. We began to acquire new machines and technologies including the first of several lasers, making Benchmade the first knife manufacturer to have such equipment in-house. Open minds and positive attitudes would lead to several more industry firsts over the course of the next several years.

This was only the beginning of Benchmade's breaking of new ground in the manufactured knife markets by using non-traditional materials and modern manufacturing methods in not only building knives better but, inevitably building better knives. The Designer Series was first introduced in 1991 with several custom designs being manufactured. By tapping into the custom knife makers' knowledge and combining it with our manufacturing expertise we were more readily able to offer more contemporary knife designs and innovations to the knife users.

Consecutive years of aggressive growth led to the next logical step in 1996 when Benchmade moved into its own 35,000 sq. ft. facility. A contemporary styled building complete with all of the modern equipment and amenities necessary to manufacture what has become recognized as a higher standard of specialty cutlery.

Today, Benchmade Knife Company, Inc. manufactures knives for a loyal and ever growing following of knife users. As we move into the 21st century we are poised for even more exciting opportunities, innovations and ongoing total world-class quality. Here at Benchmade we employ a simple philosophy- 'Make it cool, make it solid, make it happen and definitely make it Benchmade.'
