The Benchmade 8551BK is proof that a tactical knife doesn\'t have to be excessively bulky to meet its intended use. Borrowing the prime features from our much-loved classic designs, we introduce our most recent push-button automatic, the 8551BK Mediator. Equipped with intricately milled chevron-pattern G10 handles and a heavy-duty CPM-S90V reverse tanto blade, the Mediator combines elegance and speed, making it a rapid-action switchblade.
