The main blade is a 2.97\" satin CPM-S30V clip point, backed by a 1.97\" secondary blade and a folding cap lifter, all riding on gray G10 scales. There is no lock, which is exactly the point: slip-joints are simpler, legal in more places than locking folders, and pleasant to use in a way that a hard-use tactical knife is not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 2.28 oz and 4.08\" closed, the Benchmade 317 Weekender is a genuinely pocketable knife with no clip to snag. CPM-S30V is a premium stainless at 58-60 HRC, so this is a traditional pattern built with a steel most modern folders would be happy to have.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications – Benchmade 317 Weekender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMain blade length: 2.97\" (7.16 cm), clip point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecondary blade length: 1.97\" (5.00 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade steel: CPM-S30V stainless, 58-60 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade thickness: 0.090\" (2.29 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade finish: satin, plain edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle: gray G10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanism: slip-joint, non-locking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtras: folding cap lifter, lanyard hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosed length: 4.08\" | Overall length: 7.05\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 2.28 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a slip-joint knife?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA slip-joint uses a backspring to hold the blade open under tension rather than locking it.
