How it’s Made

Uses

Proper care and regular maintenance help make your Benchmade knife yours, for life. Here are some tips for keeping your Benchmade in peak condition

• All steel, regardless of price and grade, can eventually rust, so it’s important to keep your knife dry and lubricated. If spotting or rust occurs, semi-chrome metal polish will often take care of it
• Dishwashers can cause serious damage that is not covered under the warranty, so make sure to hand-wash your Benchmade under warm water with dish soap only and dry thoroughly
• Remember, knives are cutting tools and you should never use your knife as a pry-bar, screwdriver, chisel or punch, unless the knife is designed explicitly for those purposes
• If you choose to sharpen your blade yourself, avoid grinding wheels and other high-powered machinery
• Handle, pivot and pocket clip screws may require occasional adjustment using T6 & T10 Torx drivers. Recommend applying a small dab of releasable thread-locker as needed
