Benchmade Auto Mediator 8551BK – Black CPM-S90V Reverse Tanto Blade – Textured Black G-10 Handle – Push Button Autmatic w/ Plunge Lock

Benchmade, a very well-known US-based knife manufacturer, offers a huge number of products that all make for a great pocket knife. From fixed blades, to automatics, to their signature AXIS-lock manuals, Benchmade’s growing list of options continues to impress. Us at SRKT agree that Benchmade has one of the biggest selection of solid everyday carry’s. If you find yourself using your blade multiple times throughout the day, and don’t have a Benchmade yet, you should certainly try one out, as they make a model for everybody.

One of our favorite side-opening automatics by Benchmade, the Mediator is a reliable push button automatic with a face side plunge lock, making it easy to use and dependable in any situation. A grippy and texturized G-10 handle and CPM-S90V reverse tanto blade make this Mediator a great choice as a US-made everyday carry. Standard sized but lightweight, the Mediator is fun to use and disappears in both your hand during use, and in your pocket when carrying it. The reversible tip-up pocket clip and hardware, besides the push button, are all finished black. This knife is very fun to carry as a daily automatic pocket knife.
