Benchmade 6800 Auto APB – Ambidextrous Push-Button Automatic
The Benchmade 6800 Auto APB is the automatic version of Benchmade's Ambidextrous Push-Button platform, built because you don't always get to choose which hand to use. Fire the 3.52" stonewashed 154CM drop point blade from a push button on either side of the black anodized 6061-T6 billet aluminum handle. Stainless steel liners and an integrated carbide glass breaker round out a serious duty tool. This model is discontinued.
