The Benchmade Axis Stryker II 909BK is the blacked-out tanto version of the classic Allen Elishewitz Stryker folder. It features a 3.57" 154CM tanto blade with a low-glare black coating, an ambidextrous AXIS lock, and textured black G10 scales, making it a discreet, hard-use tactical and everyday carry knife.
Overview
The 154CM tanto blade is hardened to 58-60 HRC and wears a matte black coating that reduces glare and boosts corrosion resistance. The reinforced tanto tip is built for piercing and demanding work. 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 909BK weighs about 4.38 oz.
