Benchmade Autocrat 3401BK-2501 - Black Class Limited Edition - Vinland Damasteel Kris Blade - Snakeskin Copper FatCarbon

Heritage and innovation collide. The Autocrat has always embodied power and authority. Now, it embraces the fighting spirit. Elevating OTF design with an innovative build and a double-edged kris blade—crafted from deep-etched, DLC coated Vinland Damasteel—the 3401BK-2501 Autocrat features a serpentine-like blade shape inspired by the warrior cultures of southeast Asia, where the kris blade originated as a symbol of mystical power and status. Adopted by the Moro tribes of the Philippines in swords and daggers, we've combined the tradition of the kris profile with our new openspine handle construction, creating the illusion that the blade is floating within the frame, free of blade play or rattle. The milling of the copper-layered Snakeskin Fatcarbon scales mimics the blade’s oscillating form, with FDE PVD hardware providing a cohesive finish. Built for collectors, enthusiasts, and those with the heart of a warrior, this 150-piece limited edition Autocrat® is unlike any OTF you’ve seen before.
