Description
The Gold Class Valet folder knife is one of many new knives released by Benchmade this year. The artistic and radical overhaul of this traditional Blue Class model highlights a soft diagonal milling pattern throughout the handle and the Damasteel® material used in the blade is the best performing stainless damascus in the world--offering premium strength, edge retention and corrosion resistance properties not typically found in most damascus blades. Each Gold Class Valet folder knife utilizes Benchmade's AXIS® lock mechanism which is a fully ambidextrous operating system utilizing a dual thumb stud design comprised of blue-violet anodized titanium. This Gold Class model, the 485-171, features a blue-violet anodized billet titanium handle, DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) black coated stainless steel liners, a Damasteel® backspacer, a drop point style blade in a ladder pattern damascus finish and the reversible deep carry pocket clip is designed for tip up carry only but is eligible for a left or right hand carry option. Made in the USA.
