Frequently Asked Questions
What makes CPM-S30V steel different from other blade steels?
CPM-S30V is a premium stainless steel that offers excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. The 58-60 HRC hardness provides the right balance of toughness and edge-holding ability for both everyday carry and tactical use.
How does the AXIS lock work?
The AXIS lock uses a spring-loaded bar that moves forward and back in the handle. When open, the bar sits behind the blade tang to lock it in place. Pulling the bar back with your thumb or finger releases the blade for closing.
Is this knife suitable for everyday carry?
Yes, the FACT is designed for both everyday and tactical use. The deep-carry clip keeps it discreet in your pocket, and the 3.24-ounce weight makes it comfortable for daily carry.
What is the blade thickness on this model?
The blade measures 0.110 inches thick, providing good strength for cutting tasks while maintaining the knife's overall slim profile.
Does this knife come with a warranty?
Benchmade knives are made in the USA and backed by the company's LifeSharp service, which includes free sharpening and maintenance for the life of the knife.
