OUTDOOR ESSENTIALS
It’s not just a knife.
It’s a Benchmade.
For two decades Benchmade has been committed
to designing and manufacturing world-class sports
cutlery and edged tools.
915 Triage
Outside Magazine
April 2011 issue
“We loved Benchmade’s 915 for everyday
use. It’s slim and pocket friendly, with a
grippy ergonomic handle and a powerful
3.5-inch combo blade that can be opened
with one hand, even gloved. It also comes
with life insurance: a carbide -tiped
windshild breaker on the butt and a
seatbelt cutter.”
We continually strive to manufacture high quality
products that will deliver superior performance and
provide great value for our customers.
Whether you are using a Griptilian™ as a basic
cutting tool or one of our professional grade rescue
hooks to perform a quick cut in an emergency
situation, you can count on your Benchmade to get
the job done.
The Benchmade Difference
Expect more.
Our edged tools combine innovation, high technology
and a hand-crafted finish.
The 3 M’s set Benchmade apart.
Materials: Premium blade steels and strong, durable
handle materials are built to last.
Mechanisms: Patented locking mechanisms like our
AXIS® lock provide reliability and enhanced function.
Manufacturing: Ultra-modern laser cutters and CNC
machining centers offer the precision and control
usually reserved for the aerospace industry.
746 Mini-Onslaught
Outside Magazine
Buyer’s Guide
Summer 2011
“We’re not sure what’s up with the ‘mini’ in
the name. At 3.5 inches long, the 746
is about as big a knife as we ever need for
most backcountry missions. The locking
stainless-steel combo blade opens e
asily and smoothly. It’s pricey, but it’ll
last a lifetime.”
We stand behind our products and craftsmanship.
All Benchmade products are covered by our limited
lifetime warranty and LifeSharp service.
The proof is our market-leading performance.
Benchmade held over 55% of market share in 2008
for knives sold between $70 and $300.
