The Benchmade Axis Stryker II 909 is the tanto-bladed member of the classic Allen Elishewitz Stryker family, built around a 3.57" 154CM tanto blade in a satin finish. The full-size 909 pairs the tough, penetrating tanto grind with an ambidextrous AXIS lock and textured black G10 scales for a serious tactical and everyday carry folder.
Overview
The 154CM tanto blade is hardened to 58-60 HRC and keeps the beefy tip and reinforced point that made the original Strykers popular for hard use. Dual thumb-studs open it from either hand, and the AXIS lock holds it firmly until you retract the spring-loaded bar. At 8.29" open and 4.72" closed, the Benchmade Axis Stryker II 909 weighs about 4.38 oz and carries tip-up on a reversible clip.
