The 60-62 HRC hardness on this knife delivers a sharp edge that stays sharp longer than most stainless steels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow does the AXIS lock work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AXIS lock uses a spring-loaded bar that moves forward and back rather than side to side. This allows ambidextrous operation and creates a very secure lockup. Press the bar back with your thumb to close the blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I adjust the pocket clip for left-handed carry?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, the clip is reversible and maintains tip-up carry orientation for both right and left-handed users. The clip can be moved to either side of the handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this knife suitable for heavy-duty tasks?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 484 Nakamura is designed for everyday carry use rather than heavy-duty applications. The refined design and premium materials make it ideal for office tasks, food prep, and general cutting needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes this knife come with a sheath or case?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, the 484 Nakamura does not include a sheath. It features a pocket clip for everyday carry and is designed to be carried in your pocket.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Benchmade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43773544824931,"sku":"17056","price":195.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/7546\/5827\/files\/products-17056.jpg?v=1760232577","url":"https:\/\/tacticaledge.com\/products\/484-nakamura-axis-black-satin-plain-edge-17056","provider":"tacticaledge.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
