Product Description

The Benchmade Successor Slipjoint strips the lock entirely off the 315 platform — a 2.60-inch traditional slipjoint for carriers who want the most capable steel available in a gentleman's carry form factor.

Cut from Böhler M390 powder-metallurgy stainless — the Böhler-Uddeholm alloy that outperforms CPM-S30V and CPM-S35VN in edge retention and wear resistance at comparable corrosion resistance — the drop point blade holds a working edge far longer between sharpenings than the stainless alloys found in traditional pocket knives. A DLC coating adds a hard, low-friction surface and near-zero reflectivity, giving the 315BK-01 a visual identity distinct from the standard 315's stonewash gray.

• Blade: Böhler M390 powder-metallurgy stainless, DLC black finish, hollow-ground drop point — premium edge retention and wear resistance far exceeding typical slipjoint steels
• Handle: Burnt brass scales that develop a unique patina with carry, warmer and heavier than the standard 315's aluminum
• Deployment/Lock: Slipjoint — half-stop nail nick deployment, no locking mechanism, correct for restricted-carry jurisdictions and traditional gentlemen's carry
• Carry: 2.98 oz, tip-up clip, black leather sheath included

Carriers in jurisdictions that restrict locking folders. Traditionalists who want a slipjoint with modern super steel instead of a basic stainless. Buyers upgrading from the standard aluminum 315 who want brass patina and a blacked-out blade.
