The Benchmade 315-261 Gold Class Successor™ is Benchmade's modern-traditional slipjoint taken as far as it can go. Built in a limited run of just 250 hand-finished pieces, it takes its cues from fine watchmaking: every surface, screw and spring is finished with intent, and the details reward a closer look the longer you carry it.

The 2.56" drop-point blade is contrast-etched Baldur™ Damasteel® (58-60 HRC), fitted with a floating blue-anodized titanium nail nick insert held by flame-anodized fasteners. Flame-anodized 6Al-4V titanium scales frame a hand-jeweled stainless liner visible on the show side, paired with a blasted, groove-milled titanium bolster, a hand-filed backspring and heat-tinted slotted hardware. Carry it in the included chocolate gaucho-leather pocket sheath or on its own using the Damasteel® deep-carry clip, which moves between the sheath and the knife. Made in Oregon City, USA, and backed by Benchmade's Lifetime Warranty and LifeSharp™ service.
