The Benchmade Mini-Axis Stryker 904BK is the blacked-out compact version of the Stryker family, built around a 2.94" 154CM tanto blade with a low-glare black coating. It keeps the ambidextrous AXIS lock and textured black G10 scales in a lightweight, discreet everyday carry package.
Overview
The 154CM tanto blade is hardened to 58-60 HRC and wears a matte black coating that reduces glare and adds corrosion resistance. The reinforced tanto tip is ideal for piercing and detail work. Dual thumb-studs open it from either hand, and the AXIS lock holds it secure until you retract the spring-loaded bar. At 6.81" open and 3.87" closed, the Benchmade Mini-Axis Stryker 904BK weighs just 2.84 oz.
