Benchmade Bailout

The Bailout comes with a black handle and a gray coating. The handle is comfortable to hold, and the gray coating makes it easy to see where you're going while using the tool. There is no need to sharpen the Bailout because it will last forever. Just wipe down the blade after each use to maintain its sharpness.

Who Needs A Benchmade Bailout?

The Benchmade Bailout is a tool designed to help you cut through tough materials. But, did you know this tool has other uses?

It's true. While cutting through wood, metal, plastic, leather, and paper, the Bailout works equally well. It makes short work of any material. And, it does it quickly and easily.

But, how do you use the Bailout? Here are three tips to help you maximize its potential.

When opening packages, the Bailout is perfect for getting past stubborn tape. Simply slide the blade under the package and pull back. Then, push down firmly until the package opens. Easy peasy!

Duct tape is one of the toughest things to remove. But, the Bailout is a great tool for removing it. Slide the blade underneath the tape and press down firmly. Once the tape comes off, simply peel it away.

Whether you're slicing bread or cake, the Bailout is ideal for creating a clean, straight slice. To create a clean slice, hold the blade parallel to the surface being sliced. Press down firmly while moving the blade across the surface. Repeat this motion several times until the desired thickness is achieved.

The Importance Of Purchasing A Quality Benchmade Bailout

If you've ever had the pleasure of owning a Benchmade Bailout, then you already understand how amazing this knife is. This pocketknife is one of my favorite knives. I use it every single day. And even though I love this knife so much, I'm often asked about the best way to care for it. So here are some things to keep in mind if you want to take great care of your Benchmade Bailout:

Keep it sharp. You'll notice that the blade of your Benchmade Bailout is covered by a coating called "gray coat." This coating protects the steel from rusting. When the blade gets dull, simply sharpen it again. Never use any kind of metal tool to sharpen the edge of your Benchmade Bailout. Only use a stone or whetstone to do this job.

Store it properly. Store your Benchmade Bailout in a safe place where it won't come into contact with moisture. A dry place like a drawer works perfectly fine. Just make sure to clean up after yourself. After you're done using your Benchmade Bailout, wipe down the handle with a damp cloth. Then throw away the cloth and wash your hands. Do the same thing with the rest of your tools. Make sure they're cleaned thoroughly.

Don't let it sit in direct sunlight. Sunlight can fade the finish off your Benchmade Bailout. Keep it stored in a cool, dark area.

Use proper technique. Hold the tip of the Benchmade Bailout against your palm. Use just the right amount of pressure. Too much pressure may damage the finish. Too little pressure may leave scratches on the surface of the blade.

Be careful with the lockback mechanism. The lockback mechanism on your Benchmade Bailout is very easy to operate. But it's also extremely dangerous. Be careful not to accidentally open the lockback mechanism. Doing so could potentially injure you or others nearby. Instead, gently press the button until it clicks into position.

Features To Consider When Buying A Benchmade Bailout

The Bailout is a great tool for anyone who needs to carry their favorite blade on them while they work. This versatile tool has become a staple in my kit. The Bailout is made of stainless steel and features a black G10 handle. The Bailout is available in a variety of sizes ranging from 3 1/2" to 5".

It's comfortable to hold and feels solid in the hand. I've used this tool for everything from cutting through rope to slicing bread. The Bailout is perfect for everyday carry and is ideal for those who prefer a smaller pocketknife.

I love how compact the Bailout is. It fits easily into my pocket and doesn't take up much space. I'm able to store other tools such as tweezers, keys, etc. inside the Bailout.

This tool is built well. There are no loose parts and the lock mechanism is tight. I haven't had any issues with the locking mechanism working properly. The only downside to this tool is its price. However, if you're looking for a reliable tool that will last, then the Bailout is worth the investment.

Different Types Of Benchmade Bailout

The original Benchmade Bailout was released in 2010. Since then, Benchmade has continued to release updates to the design. Today, there are three main variations of the Bailout. Each variation offers its own advantages and disadvantages. Let’s look at each version below.

Bailout Axis. The original Bailout had a blade length of 3 inches. The Bailout Axis features a 4 inch blade. This makes it slightly longer than the standard Bailout. The extra length allows you to cut through larger items without having to use excessive force. The downside to the longer blade is that it takes up more space. When cutting smaller items, the shorter blade works better.

Bailout Gray. The original Bailout came in black. The Bailout Gray is now offered in two colors. Black and Tan. Both feature a matte finish. The Bailout Gray is lighter than the original Bailout. This means that it won’t scratch surfaces as easily. On the flip side, it does not offer any added protection against corrosion.

Bailout Coated. The last update to the Bailout line was the Bailout Coated. This model is identical to the Bailout Gray except for the coating. The coating gives the Bailout Coated a nice sheen. It also helps protect the steel from rusting.
