AXIS-ASSIST WITH INTEGRATED SAFETY
Benchmade’s AXIS-Assist mechanism uses spring assistance to help deploy the blade after the opening motion is initiated. The integrated safety provides an additional level of control for carry and handling.
CPM-S30V DROP-POINT BLADE
The 3-inch drop-point blade is made from CPM-S30V stainless steel and hardened to approximately 58–60 HRC. S30V is a well-rounded premium knife steel known for its balance of edge retention, toughness, corrosion resistance, and practical sharpenability.
BLACK 7075-T6 ALUMINUM HANDLE
The black anodized 7075-T6 billet aluminum handle keeps the knife rigid and lightweight while maintaining a slim profile for pocket carry. Its contoured shape is designed to provide a secure, comfortable grip without unnecessary bulk.
COMPACT EVERYDAY-CARRY DESIGN
With a 3.90-inch closed length, 0.45-inch handle thickness, and weight of approximately 2.2 ounces, the 470-1 Emissary is easy to carry while still providing a useful 3-inch cutting edge for daily and outdoor tasks.
