Benchmade Design - Made in the USA
154CM - An American made premium grade stainless steel originally developed for tough industrial applications. Known for its best all-around qualities, it offers great corrosion resistance with good toughness and edge quality.
Drop-Point - A slow convex-curved drop in the point characterizes a drop-point blade. The drop-point format lowers the point for control but adds strength to the tip. Usually coupled with plenty of belly for slicing, this format is often used for hunting knives. It is also a fantastic all-around blade format. This blade shape can be found on a wide array of knives.
Class - Blue Class represents the heart of everything that is Benchmade. These USA made products are designed and built for the individual who appreciates the difference that a high-quality cutting tool can make.

- Best EDC knife I've found Review by Mike
-
Quality Price Value I've carried this knife for two years, both in my jeans as an EDC knife and in the backcountry as my primary tool. It holds an edge amazingly, the action is smooth, and it keeps working even after being dragged through sand and mud. A great knife all around. Plus, Benchmade will sharpen the knife for free if you mail it to them.

Price Value Quality Although I didn'y buy this knife from US Elite ( I should have, I would have saved about thirty bucks), I have carried it as my EDC knife for about a year. Fit and finish are excellent, holds an edge well. Quality at a great price
