Benchmade Vector AXIS Assist 496 Pre-Owned & Used - Satin CPM-20CV 3.6" Compound Modified Blade & Green G-10 Handle Scales - Spring-Assisted Flipper w/ Spine-Side Lock | Made in USA

The Benchmade Vector is a unique spring-assisted folder with an easy to use flipper tab. Incorporating the beloved AXIS bar lock, you pull this down to close up your knife just like most other Benchmade folders. When closed, a spine side safety allows you to reliably lock up your blade until it's ready for use. When unlocked, a flick of the flipper tab smoothly and rapidly deploys an incredible looking 3.6" compound-ground modified drop point/tanto blade. This 496 model comes equipped with a  high-grade CPM 20CV stainless steel blade. 

The handle scales on this guy are an OD Green G-10, attached to steel bolsters. A reversible tip-up black pocket clip and lanyard hole allow for easy everyday carry. The open-backed design makes it super easy to clean out if you give it a rugged use.

Condition-wise, this knife we have in stock is in used condition, but really appears to be only lightly worn and possibly dropped along its lifetime. The only significant blemishes that are noticeable are a few dents in the reverse-side bolster. This is why I assume it may have been dropped. Other than this, the blade appears to have a couple of small scratches that are visible under direct light. The edge looks pristine and possibly untouched, along with the handle scales. The pocket clip does have a couple of nicks near the butt of the handle. This knifes comes with all of its original packaging, with the box having some writing on it. PLEASE look at the picture with the box.
