Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the serrated edge different from a plain edge?
The serrated edge cuts through fibrous materials like rope, webbing, and cardboard more aggressively than a plain edge. The teeth grab and slice through tough materials that can dull or slip against a straight edge.
Can I carry this knife tip-down?
No, the clip position is designed for tip-up carry only. However, the clip is reversible for left or right-hand pocket carry in the tip-up position.
Is this knife made in the USA?
Yes, Benchmade manufactures the 943SBK in Oregon using American materials and craftsmanship standards.
How do I maintain the AXIS lock mechanism?
Keep the pivot area clean and occasionally apply a small amount of knife oil to the AXIS bar springs. The mechanism is designed for thousands of operations with minimal maintenance.
What warranty does Benchmade provide?
Benchmade backs their knives with a comprehensive warranty covering manufacturing defects and offers their LifeSharp service for blade maintenance throughout the knife's lifetime.
