9 month review.
After almost a year we take a look at this hard working, strong auto opening knife from Benchmade.
The Auto AXIS lock and automatic opening with a touch of the AXIS lock is military and Law Enforcement only, but a non automatic model, the 520 Presidio, is also available with the same strong materials and workmanship
Benchmade 155 fixed blade knife. This high quality knife made by Benchmade in the USA is made of quality materials in a unique design by Warren Osborne, a respected knife designer. Features of this knife include; 6.2 inch blade length, .18 inch blade thickness in a modified drop-point style with multiple serrations. The Benchmade 155 weighs a hefty 9.92 ounces and has an overall length of 11.2 inches. The machined Foliage Green Anodized 6061-T6 Aluminum Handle Scales have a Multi-Directional texture that offers a positive grip no matter how the knife is held in the hand. The Benchmade 155 is made from 154CM Stainless Steel, a premium grade steel originally developed for tough industrial applications because of its corrosion resistance and toughness. This well balanced knife feels great in the hand and we can not wait to get it into the field to see how well it performs. This knife is a serious tool worthy of the Benchmade name
We take another look at this well built, and useful shoulder pack (it's not a backpack)
One of our editors carried and used this bag for about a month and here is his review and a tour of the gear carried
