Benchmade's new AFO II series feature a new and improved Push Button Lock that is more than 30% stronger than the original AFO. The button release is also larger, and the handle has been re-designed with an increased finger guard. The open backspacer was designed with easier maintenance in mind. The AFO II also features a steel glass breaker - crucial in rescue situations where seconds really count.
The AFO II is available with a Utility (9051 series) blade or a Tanto (9052 series) blade. Each style is available with Satin or BK1 coated blade finishes, and also your choice of partially serrated or plain edge blade. The blades are made of 154CM Stainless steel. 6061-T6 hard anodized aluminum handles.

    AFOll

    Posted by Udy on Jun 2nd 2023

    Excellent knife! Heavy duty, rugged, reliable!
    I have one that is 12+ years old! It has never failed to fully open! I’ve used it every single day to cut something! Whether it be cutting tape to open a box, or to cut that box up for the dumpster! The serrations make quick cuts through paradors or heavier hemp rope!

    I’ve hammered with the glass breaker, popped Romex staples, cut branches! It’s even been used to cut steak and spread butter!

    ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING! I don’t leave home without it!!!

    The new one will stay next to my bed with other home defense tools!

    The AFOll is my favorite of many Benchmade autos and fixed blades!

    This is a serious blade. It opens with authority, and the locking mechanism effectively turns it into a fixed blade. It is quite hefty but it does not feel heavy. The pocket clip and the nylon sheath provide several different carrying options. The combination blade is especially effective on heavy rope, and the knife is strongly constructed so it will take punishment for a long time.
    An old mate from the Coast Guard recommended this knife, and he was 110% right.
