Use & Care
- 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 our 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. We recommend applying a small dab of releasable thread-locker as needed.

6 stars. This is my favorite knife I bought this year, and it’s been a busy year. Haven’t had the chance to really stress the magnacut yet.

One of the best mini adamas on the market, it’s like a hold class without the gold class price, the carbon fiber scales and magnacut blade it is top of the line

Wow! 1st off; It’s beautiful! The scales feel like silk, and they glow in the light when you move it slightly. The profile is awesome and the action is drop shut perfect! I feel like i got a gold class blade at a black class price!

What an amazing knife! The action is super smooth and after using it daily for weeks, few swipes on a diamond strop and it’s back to a razor edge.
