For the first time, Benchmade's iconic and best-selling AXIS lock gets a power upgrade with the AXIS-Assist. Combining rapid deployment with unrivaled strength, this spring-assisted design delivers exceptional performance in a streamlined, ambidextrous package.
 
What Sets AXIS Apart?
The AXIS lock, a patented Benchmade exclusive, has been a fan favorite since its debut. This ambidextrous mechanism utilizes a small, hardened steel bar that slides forward and back within precision-machined steel liners. The locking bar engages the tang of the blade, securely wedging it between the stop pin and the AXIS bar itself for an ultra-reliable lockup.
 
In this enhanced AXIS-Assist version, omega-style springs provide additional inertia to deploy the blade quickly and smoothly. Whether you’re left- or right-handed, this intuitive locking system ensures confident control in any situation.
