Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the AXIS-Assist different from manual folders?

How does CPM-S30V steel perform for everyday carry?
CPM-S30V offers excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance at 58-60 HRC hardness. It holds a sharp edge through extended use and maintains performance in wet conditions, making it ideal for both everyday tasks and outdoor applications.
Can the pocket clip be configured for left-handed carry?
Yes, the deep-carry clip is reversible and can be positioned for tip-up carry on either side of the handle, accommodating both right and left-handed users.
What warranty coverage does Benchmade provide?
Benchmade backs their knives with a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, plus their LifeSharp service for blade maintenance and sharpening.
Is this knife suitable for outdoor tasks?
The 477-1 is designed for both everyday and outdoor use. The drop-point blade shape and CPM-S30V steel handle camping tasks, food prep, and general outdoor cutting needs effectively.
