Benchmade Follow-Up

FEATURES

When it comes to defensive knives, Rob likes two things: He likes slim and he likes a large handle, in fact he likes the handle to be larger than the blade itself. He wants all the leverage and control for close quarters, and a long enough blade to do some damage.

Because of the large grip area of its skeletonized stainless-steel handle, the Benchmade fixed-blade Follow-Up is very controllable. The Follow-Up is also durable and easy to carry due to its compact size and light weight.

PARACORD WRAPPING AND SHEATH

If you’re not a slim fan like Rob, you can beef up the Benchmade fixed-blade Follow-Up by wrapping paracord around the handle. Two indentations at the end of the handle facilitate this.

The Benchmade Follow-Up comes with a plastic sheath that can be woven into MOLLE or attached to gear with paracord, and is very easy to carry in a pocket, similar to a pocket holster for a handgun. The blade can be pulled from a front pants pocket without removing the sheath, and the knife is ready to employ for self-defense.

The Follow-Up’s plastic sheath can also be attached to a lanyard and carried centerline, where it’s unobtrusive and easy to deploy. And Benchmade encourages use of the Follow-Up as a neck knife.
