Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the AXIS-Assist different from manual folders?
The AXIS-Assist mechanism provides spring assistance once you initiate blade deployment with the thumb stud. This allows reliable one-handed opening while maintaining the security of a locking folder when closed.
How does CPM-S30V steel perform for everyday tasks?
CPM-S30V offers excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. At 58-60 HRC hardness, it holds a sharp edge through extended use while remaining easy to resharpen when needed.
Can the pocket clip be configured for left-handed carry?
Yes, the reversible tip-up clip can be moved to either side of the handle for right or left-handed pocket carry preferences.
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.
