The Benchmade 980SBK Turret is a minimalist tactical folder, equipped with a reliable Axis-lock, a partially serrated drop-point blade made of CPM-S30V steel and profiled G-10 plastic cladding. Benchmade knives from the black series are famous for their reliability, the highest quality of materials used and functionality. The Benchmade 980 Turret fits perfectly into this canon. The new tactical folder was created for uniformed services and people who are looking for a durable tool for years. The drop-point blade with a length of 94 mm is made of premium CPM-S30V steel, hardened to a hardness of 58-60 HRC , characterized by resistance to use (long maintenance of working sharpness), high mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. Perfectly sharp cutting edge, strong point and concave grind ensure aggressive cutting and good penetration. Partially serrated blade facilitates cutting hard (e.g. plastic and bones) and fibrous materials (ropes, belts, tapes). The double- sided pin is used to unfold the blade , thus facilitating the use of the knife for right and left-handed people. Transverse cutters were made on the back of the blade, allowing for comfortable thumb rest and stable guidance of the blade during cutting. The knife uses the flagship lock by Benchmade, i.e. the Axis-lock mechanism, valued for its great resistance to dynamic loads, insensitivity to dirt and ease of use. The strength and rigidity of the knife structure are ensured by full steel inserts (liners) of increased thickness. The handle of the knife is made of anatomically profiled linings made of G-10 material , characterized by lightness and high resistance to mechanical impact. Deep milling of the handle emphasizes the tactical nature of the knife and provides a stable and comfortable grip. The knife can be mounted in a trouser pocket or equipment with a steel clip (with the possibility of relocation). If you are looking for a reliable tool with a minimalist military style, the Benchmade 980 Turret is the perfect choice for many years.
