Description

The Benchmade Triage series has you covered with a tool that truly epitomizes what it takes to be prepared for any type of emergency situation. This Benchmade Black Class automatic was designed very purposely--from the design of the blade, to the specific blade material used all the the way down to the functional components and additives. The blade material chosen for this series was Bohler N680--an Austrian steel designed for extremely harsh environments like salt water plus offering the best corrosion resistance while still offering plenty of edge retention and strength. This blade is powered by the Benchmade auto AXIS system which provides quick action and a rock sold lockup and is opened by simultaneously pulling back on the dual tab design. Additional features include an automatic deploying 440C stainless steel seat belt/strap cutter hook that is conveniently housed in the handle scale, an integrated slide safety on the spine as well as a carbide glass breaker to further increase this knife's utilitarian value. This model, the 9170BK, features a black finished drop point blade, a black anodized aluminum handle, with a black G-10 inlay, and the pocket clip is designed for tip up carry only but is eligible for left or right hand carry options. Made in the USA.

My experience with this knife has been nothing short of spectacular. Right off the bat, the knife is extremely easy to operate, is super fast and locks up very tight. Operationally, it is very fluid even when only applying pressure to a single side of the AXIS pull release (works great if you are a left-handed too!). I find it fits very comfortable in the hand and love the placement of the jimping and finger grooves whether I’m holding it traditional style or even in a reverse grip. I had the original triage and the added auto feature on the seat belt cutter makes the knife all-around an efficient machine. Another feature I like is the fact they “upgraded” the handle from completely G-10 to the more coarse G-10 insert which I believe adds better gripping power even when the knife isn’t dry. All-in-all this is a great addition to the already impressive Bencmade Auto Knife line and if you already the own the original Triage, believe me that you will not regret purchasing the auto version.
