Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the AXIS lock different from other folding knife mechanisms?
The AXIS lock uses a spring-loaded bar that moves forward and back rather than side to side. This design allows ambidextrous operation and provides a stronger lock-up than traditional liner locks.
Is this knife suitable for cutting rope and webbing?
Yes, the serrated edge is specifically designed for cutting fibrous materials like rope, webbing, and strapping. The aggressive serrations maintain cutting performance even when the blade dulls.
Can I adjust the pocket clip for left-handed carry?
The clip is reversible and configured for tip-up carry. You can move it to either side of the handle for left or right-hand preference.
What warranty does Benchmade provide?
Benchmade offers their LifeSharp service, which includes free blade sharpening, cleaning, and adjustment for the life of the knife when you send it to their facility.
Does this model include a sheath or carry case?
No, this folder is designed for pocket carry with the included reversible pocket clip. No separate sheath is provided.
