AXIS Locking Mechanism
Benchmade uses the ambidextrous AXIS mechanism for locking its folding knives. Two omega-style springs, one per liner, create inertia in the locking bar so that it engages the knife tang. This security mechanism is unique to Benchmade knives.
CPM-M4
A powder-metal, non-stainless, special purpose high-speed steel with a combination of high carbon, moly, vanadium, and tungsten for excellent wear resistance and toughness. Due to its lower level of chrome content, it may require additional care to avoid corrosion.
G10
An extremely durable makeup of layers of fiberglass soaked in resin, then highly compressed and baked. Impervious to moisture or liquid and physically stable under a wide range of temperatures.
Smiths Diamond Combo Bench Stone
Smith's 4-inch Diamond Combination Bench Stone features coarse and fine grit sharpening surfaces. These surfaces contain multiple layers of micron-sized monocrystalline diamonds and a unique sharpening surface with overlapping oval hole design. This innovation speeds sharpening by collecting and holding the metal filings which ordinarily build up during the sharpening process. Each stone has a micro-tool sharpening pad and a sharpening groove for fish hooks or pointed tools. The soft grip rubber handle is designed to make sharpening safe and easy, and when you are finished sharpening, you can store your stones in the handle for safekeeping.
