Benchmade Pardue AXIS Satin Combo Blade G10 Handles Folding 3.25 Knife - BM-531
Benchmade Pardue AXIS Satin Combo Blade G10 Handles Folding 3.25 Knife - BM-531. A rugged version of the 530 and while not as light because of the G10 handle scales this one is every bit as slim and much more rigid. Made in USA. The Benchmade Mel Pardue Axis is a great lightweight EDC but with a Zytel handle it always seemed to be missing something. That something has been found in the 531 series featuring G10 handles. It looks great feels great and functions great! The ultimate lightweight carry now comes with G10 or molded handles. The Model 531 is based on the Mel Pardue designed Model 350. The basic looks are the same with the spear point blade and coffin style handle design but the AXIS lock was incorporated for added performance function. The overall design was slimmed down for a low profile low drag carry and the weight is still incredibly light.
