CARE

Regular and proper care will keep your Benchmade knife looking its best for years to come. Here are a few tips to keep it in top condition:

Rust Prevention: All steels, regardless of quality or price, can eventually rust. To prevent corrosion, always keep your knife clean, dry, and lightly lubricated. If rust or stains do appear, a quality semi-chrome polish can usually restore the finish.

• Hand wash only: Always hand wash your knife with warm water and mild dish soap, then dry it thoroughly.

• Intended use: Benchmade knives are precision cutting tools. Do not use them as a pry bar, screwdriver, chisel, or awl unless specifically designed for that purpose.

• Sharpen carefully: If sharpening your blade at home, avoid grinding wheels and high-speed machines, as these can damage the blade. For best results, use proper hand sharpening methods.

• Tightening screws: Over time, the screws on the handle, pivot, and pocket clip may loosen. Use T6 and T10 Torx screwdrivers for adjustments and apply a small amount of removable threadlocker to secure the fasteners.
