Overview
Flytanium is known for bringing you the best aftermarket parts for your Benchmade 51. After each successful launch of their titanium V series scales, they decided to offer a replacement live blade to spice up your 51 and make it even better! Like all their products, the Zenith Live Blade works seamlessly with your 51.
The Zenith Live Blade features a unique, symmetrical spear point blade. Only one side of the blade is sharp, while the other has a false edge. Since Flytanium is a huge fan of bushing-driven pivots, they decided to add this component to the Zenith. You will notice the pivot holes are larger to accommodate the bushings. This allows for a smooth action while eliminating some of the play associated with balisongs. The Zenith is made from premium 154cm steel, given a stonewash finish, and sports the Flytanium DeadFly logo. The stock 51 blade weighs about .98 oz while the Zenith Live Blade weighs 1.03 oz
Knife not included. Uses hardware from the stock knife.
Installation of the trainer requires some basic tools and knowledge. You will need a T8 Torx bit to remove the pivots. The pivots are pressure set and require some force to remove and install. A mallet/hammer is necessary. The pivots require FORCE to install flush in the scales, this is on purpose so they do not spin freely.
Please Note: Benchmade's Warranty does not cover disassembly of any knife by any person other than Benchmade's Warranty department.
