That's right, it really does exist. Rich textures. Bold contrasts. Smooth lines. It's a sight to behold. True vision, though, comes in the Optimiser® mechanics, which is a patented Benchmade exclusive, that gives the user the option to choose between assisted opening and manual opening of the blade. A steel spring-bar running the length of the inside handle spine is secured in place and contacts a surface area of the blade tang. As the blade is closed the spring is tensioned against the blade tang, then as the user rotates the blade open to a 30-degree angle the spring-bar is engaged and continues the blade to its full, locked open position. YOU control its destiny. Inject the spring rod and it's blade appears quicker. Drop the rod, things return to normal. You choose the blade speed. A truly spectacular knife.
