HOW ITI S MADE
HOW ITI S MADE
Every Benchmade knife begins with high-grade steel, laser-cut for precision and strength. Each blade is meticulously ground, beveled, and finished to exacting standards, ensuring exceptional performance and durability. Our handles are milled and machined in-house to the tightest tolerances, then hand-assembled and sharpened by expert technicians. With over thirty years of manufacturing excellence behind every edge, our knives are proudly crafted in our state-of-the-art facility in Oregon City, Oregon.

Proper care and regular maintenance help make your Benchmade knife yours, for life. Here are some tips for keeping your Benchmade in peak condition:
• Prevent Rust:All steels, regardless of grade or price, can eventually rust. To avoid corrosion, always keep your knife clean, dry, and lightly lubricated. If rust or spotting appears, a quality semi-chrome metal polish can usually restore the finish.
• Hand-Wash Only:Always hand-wash your knife with warm water and mild dish soap, then dry thoroughly.
• Use as Intended:Benchmade knives are precision cutting tools. Do not use your knife as a pry-bar, screwdriver, chisel, or punch—unless specifically designed for those functions.
• Sharpen with Care:If sharpening at home, avoid grinding wheels and high-speed machinery, as they can damage the blade. Use appropriate hand-sharpening methods for best results.
• Tighten Hardware:Over time, handle, pivot, and pocket clip screws may loosen. Use T6 and T10 Torx drivers for adjustments and apply a small amount of releasable thread-locker to maintain secure fittings.
USE & CARE
USE & CARE
Proper care and regular maintenance help make your Benchmade knife yours, for life. The Water Collection of knives was designed for use in and around all types of water environments. While the CPM-MagnaCut blade steel has a high level of corrosion resistance, leaving water on the blade for long periods of time can lead to premature corrosion of the blade. Wipe the blade clean with the included cleaning cloth between uses to keep it dry and free from debris.
