All black. CPM-D2. AXIS Lock. Ready for anything.

The Benchmade Redoubt is a full-size tactical EDC folder built around the AXIS Lock and a CPM-D2 blade. The 430BK-02 is the all-black variant: Black Cerakote on the CPM-D2 drop point blade, black Grivory handles with aggressive milled texture, black oxide hardware, and a black reversible deep-carry clip. Nothing reflects. Nothing announces itself. CPM-D2 is a tool steel that handles hard use, impact, and demanding cutting tasks with edge retention that outperforms most stainless alternatives. The Black Cerakote finish adds corrosion resistance on top of the steel's toughness. AXIS Lock provides smooth, ambidextrous one-handed closing with solid lockup under load. Thumb stud opening, reversible deep-carry tip-up clip, lanyard hole. Made in Oregon City, Oregon.

Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply: The Redoubt in all black is a knife that does not need to say anything. CPM-D2 with a Black Cerakote finish is a purpose-built combination for a hard-use EDC. The Grivory handle texture holds in gloves or bare hands, and the AXIS Lock is the same reliable mechanism that has proven itself across decades of production. Oregon made and backed for life.
