What mechanism can be found in BENCHMADE knives or pocket knives?

OPENING MECHANISMS

· MANUAL OPENING it must be 100% open, from the closed position to the open position, by the user.

· ASSISTED OPENING The assisted opening has a spring which stimulates the blade in the open position once the user pushes the blade manually beyond a certain point.

· AUTOMATIC OPENING Automatic opening with a button or other operating switch which mechanically opens the blade without the user directly handling it. We remind you that opening aid is authorized but in Spain never automatic opening.

· FIXED BLADE These knives are permanently open and almost always come with a sheath to protect the cutting edge.

• · BALI-SONG "Bali" or "butterfly knives" opening and closing by means of two handles which rotate at the front and at the back of the blade.
•  
• LOCKING MECHANISMS
• AXIS The special technology developed and patented by Benchmade.

It has a 100% ambidextrous design and consists of a steel bar which acts as a locking button. It moves back and forth through a mechanized, steel-coated groove.

This lock is one of the safest on the current market and the AXIS Assist version is also available, connected to the flipper of assisted pocket knives.

MONOLOCK

Called the second most important BENCHMADE lock that will act similarly to the classic Frame Lock.

Part of the handle of the pocket knives was made of a thicker material and with a movable structure which acts like a conventional lock.

If used properly, this lock has high strength and functionality, as it minimizes usage times.

BENCHMADE knives and pocket knives offer a wide variety of blade shapes and styles

Each cutting edge is applied to a cutting surface differently depending on the shape of the blade. Blade shapes with larger radii may be optimal for hunting, while blade shapes with hard angles, such as tanto, may be better for tactical applications.

 CLIP-POINT

The blade with clip tip contains a sharp beak, usually in front of the middle, as if the tip was "cut".

 DROP-POINT

The blade with drop point, falls from the column upwards. The height of the point is generally less than the center line of the blade.

 TANTO

This blade shape is easily identified by angular lines. The edge of the blade is flat and moves with a sharp break from the angle of the tip to the main edge.

 REVERSE TANTO

Defined by the bevel creating an upside down tanto profile, adding weight forward on the blade.

 OPPOSING BEVEL

The opposite bevel design has a non-uniform blade geometry that creates an offset lever point, while maintaining a chisel grinding on the cutting edge.

 SHEEPSFOOT

In the Sheepsfoot design, the backbone of the blade "rolls" at the tip, creating a more rounded end to discourage drilling.

 WHARNCLIFFE

Similar to sheep's foot with a spine that "rolls" at the front tip. This blade has a completely straight edge.

 SPEAR-POINT 

The spear point must be symmetrical taking into account the profile of the blade. * Traditionally, spearheads are double-sided, but these knives are more specifically called daggers.

 WEEHAWK

This design is characterized by a wide edge and a radius of the spine which narrows towards the tip and the handle.

To get the best products, you need the best raw materials. This is why in Benchmade pocket knives and knives they select high quality steels and combine them with aerospace quality handle materials, creating the best quality knives and pocket knives that offer great value for their users.
