Overview
Built as a slim, light folder for everyday carry, this knife suits hunters and outdoorsmen who want a compact cutting tool that stays easy to carry on and off the trail. Its reverse tanto blade shape and satin finish give it a practical profile for general utility work, while the green anodized aluminum handle and AXIS lock keep the design straightforward and secure in hand. The reversible pocket clip supports left- or right-side tip-up carry, making it adaptable to different carry preferences. It is a solid option for routine cutting tasks, though its compact format is best suited to general use rather than larger camp chores.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 3.4" reverse tanto blade shape is purpose-built for utility and tactical use, so it may feel more specialized than a traditional drop-point profile for some general camp tasks.
- The green anodized aluminum handle keeps the knife slim and light, but aluminum can feel less warm or textured in hand than other handle materials.
- The reversible pocket clip supports left- or right-side tip-up carry, but the knife is still a folding design, which may not suit users who prefer a fixed blade for heavier outdoor work.
- The premium price reflects the Benchmade platform and included maintenance support, so it is a more considered purchase than a basic EDC folder.
