The Contego is a hard hitting tactical folder from Benchmade. The burly reverse tanto blade is made from premium M4 tool steel and is available with a protective black or grey Cerakote finish as well as a plain or half serrated edge. The handle is designed for a rigid forward grip with aggressive texturing, jimping, and a thumb ramp. Equipped with an ambidextrous AXIS lock, thumb studs, and glass breaker, the Contego is an everyday carry problem solver.
Why choose this knife?

Pro tip:
A glass breaker is a small nub on the bottom of knife handles that can be used to smash through windows. When swung like a pommel, your entire striking force is focused into the small thick point. It is especially useful in rescue and emergency situations.Specification | Value | Value | Value | Value |
