Laser-cut from sheets of high-grade steel, every Benchmade blade is ground, beveled, and finished with uncompromising precision. We mill and machine handles in-house to the most exacting specifications, and every knife is hand-assembled and sharpened by highly trained technicians bringing to bear over thirty years of manufacturing excellence in our state-of-the-art factory in Oregon City, Oregon.

Proper care and regular maintenance help make your Benchmade knife yours, for life. Here are some tips for keeping your Benchmade in peak condition. All steel, regardless of price and grade, can eventually rust, so it’s important to keep your knife dry and lubricated. If spotting or rust occurs, semi-chrome metal polish will often take care of it. Dishwashers can cause serious damage that is not covered under our warranty, so make sure to hand-wash your Benchmade under warm water with dish soap only, and dry thoroughly. Remember, knives are cutting tools, and you should never use your knife as a pry-bar, screwdriver, chisel, or punch, unless the knife is designed explicitly for those purposes. If you choose to sharpen your blade yourself, avoid grinding wheels and other high-powered machinery. Handle, pivot, and pocket clip screws may require occasional adjustment using T6 and T10 Torx drivers. We recommend applying a small dab of releasable thread-locker as needed.

The spine curves upward to create an elevated point that’s typically higher than the handle.

A composite of vulcanized EPDM rubber and thermoplastic, this durable molded material provides a sure grip in all conditions.
