The Leafstorm 9 Series folders use the tried and true sliding bar lock, allowing for full ambidextrous use. All internal lock components are precision made from heat treated stainless steel. The torsion springs are custom made here in Germany by a firm which specializes in springs.
I’ve made these knives with grips machined from both titanium and bronze; I’ve also done some with grips machined from G10 and G11 Glass Fiber Plastic. So far there are two blade styles, Leaf and Wharncliff. All Leafstorm 9 knives use my standard pocket clip which is compatible with any clip featuring the Benchmade 3-hole pattern and 2-56 UNC screws.
