Benchmade 4600DLC-1 Phaeton OTF Auto

The Benchmade 4600DLC-1 Phaeton OTF Auto is a spine-fire OTF automatic knife that combines speed and style with a semi-tactical everyday carry look. The sturdy handle is made from a billet of 6061-T6 aluminum with a dark earth (brown) anodized finish. Subtle texturing along the top scale improves grip on the smooth handle without being abrasive. The drop point style blade is CPM-S30V steel with a DLC black finish. The Benchmade Phaeton successfully combines speed and style in a sleek tactical everyday carry automatic. It has a spine-fire sliding button that offers quick blade access when deployment time is critical. A reversible deep-carry pocket clip completes the tactical EDC design.

CPM-S30V Steel: Chris Reeve is famous for developing two steels directly with Crucible Industries, and boy did this partnership result in an awesome product. S30V is, in many eyes, the ultimate EDC steel. Exhibiting very good edge retention, corrosion resistance, and sharpenability, S30V is utilized by a variety of makers for its performance and balance. CPM-S30V has become one of the most used premium steels on the market among knife manufacturers. If you are looking for a high end stainless steel knife that will keep an edge, that will be durable, and will resist corrosion–definitely consider one made with a CPM-S30V blade.
