Frequently Asked Questions

What makes CPM-M4 steel different from other blade steels?

CPM-M4 is a high-carbon tool steel that offers superior edge retention compared to standard stainless steels. The 62-64 HRC hardness provides excellent cutting performance while maintaining toughness for hard-use applications.

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 back on the bar with your thumb or finger releases the blade for closing.

Can the pocket clip be moved to different positions?

Yes, the deep-carry clip is reversible and can be configured for tip-up carry on either side of the handle to accommodate left or right-handed users.

What is the glass breaker designed for?

The pommel-mounted glass breaker is designed for emergency situations requiring window breaking, such as vehicle extraction or emergency egress scenarios.

Does this knife come with a warranty?

Benchmade backs this knife with their Lifesharp service, which includes free sharpening, cleaning, and adjustment for the life of the knife when returned to Benchmade.
