Benchmade 3551 Mini Stimulus

The Benchmade 3551 Mini Stimulus is an upgraded design of the original 3550 Pardue auto. Small, light, flat profile, and fast action, this is an automatic knife with a lot of class. Improvements include, increased reliability and better access to an enlarged button. The 3551 Stimulus features a 2.99″ 154CM spear point blade and aluminum handles. 154CM is an American-made premium grade best all-around stainless steel that offers great corrosion resistance with good toughness and edge qualities.

154CM Steel: 154CM steel is one of “better” steel varieties made for cutlery and other knife blades. It’s not a powder steel (CPM154 would be the powder version), but it’s a commonly used steel for a higher grade knife. It has an exceptionally good balance between three enviable attributes which are toughness, hardness and corrosion-resistance.
