The Benchmade 85 Billet Ti Bali-Song returns to Benchmade's roots with thoroughly modern execution. Each handle is machined from a single piece of billet titanium, an integral design with no liners or scales to loosen, and the 4.40 inch stonewash CPM-S30V drop point blade carries a through-hole milled fuller that mirrors the handle aesthetics. The action rides on smooth bearing washers for effortless flipping, and like every Bali-Song it is made in the USA.
