The 427 Mini Vallation is a compact knife that features a smooth satin CPM-S30V stainless steel blade and a sleek black aluminum handle. Designed by Benchmade, this folding knife is perfect for everyday carry (EDC) and offers quick and easy opening with its AXIS® Assist action. It is also designed to be used by both left-handed and right-handed individuals. The Vallation draws inspiration from Benchmade's line of automatic knives, giving it a tactical and ergonomic design. One unique feature is the mohawk spine, which allows for excellent control of the blade without any aggressive jimping. Additionally, the handle includes a carbide tipped glass breaker for emergency situations and a reversible deep-carry pocket clip for convenient and discreet storage.
