The AFO II 9052 is a knife with a sleek, satin-finished Tanto blade and a sharp cutting edge. Its handle is made of black anodized aluminum and comes with a reversible pocket clip. It also includes a ballistic nylon sheath with a Malice clip for easy carrying. The Benchmade AFO II automatic knife is an upgraded version of the 9050 AFO, known for its practicality. This new model has significant improvements. It is a large and sturdy knife, designed for heavy-duty use. The push button lock has been enhanced and is now 30% stronger than the original. Operating the AFO II is effortless, thanks to its oversized firing button that can be easily pressed even while wearing gloves.
