Benchmade 9051SBK AFO II

The Benchmade 9051SBK AFO II is part of Benchmade’s AFO series of automatic knives. The AFO series was Benchmade’s first automatic knife platform ever, and it’s had some upgrades over the years, but the overall design is still the same. The drop point style blade (Partially Serrated) is 154CM steel with a black finish. The handle is 6061-T6 Aluminum with a black anodized finish. The AFO-II push-button auto has become a proven tool used in all branches of the Armed Forces. MOLLE® compatible.

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.
