Benchmade 6800SBK Auto APB – Black Combo Edge Ambidextrous Automatic
The Benchmade 6800SBK Auto APB is the black-blade, partially serrated version of Benchmade's ambidextrous push-button automatic, built because you don't always get to choose which hand to use. In the model number, S means the partially serrated combo edge and BK the black blade coating. Fire the 3.52" black 154CM drop point from a push button on either side of the black anodized 6061-T6 billet aluminum handle; the serrated section powers through rope, webbing, and seatbelts. Stainless steel liners and an integrated carbide glass breaker complete the rescue-ready package. This model is discontinued.

APB stands for Ambidextrous Push-Button. The Benchmade 6800SBK Auto APB places a firing button on both sides of the handle, so deployment, locking, and release work identically for left and right handed users.
