Proper care and regular maintenance help make yoru Benchmade knife yours, for life. Here are some tips for keeping your Benchmade in peak condition:
- Prevent Rust
- All steels, regardless of grade or price, can eventually rust. To avoid corrosion, always keep your knife clean, dry, and lightly lubricated. If rust of spotting appears, a quality semi-chrome metal polish can usually restore the finish
- Hand-Wash Only
- Always hand-wash your knife with warm water and mild dish soap, then dry thoroughly
- Use as Intended
- Benchmade knives are precision cutting tools. Do not use your knife as a pry-bar, screwdriver, chisel, or punch—unless specifically designed for those functions
- Sharpen with Care
- If sharpening at home, avoid grinding wheels and high-speed machinery, as they can damage the blade. Use appropriate hand-sharpening methods for best results
- Tighten Hardware
- Over time, handle, pivot, and pocket clip screws may loosen. Use T6 and T10 Torx drivers for adjustments and apply a small amount of releasable thread-locker to maintain secure fittings
