Benchmade is known for its most popular models like the Mini Crooked River, 940, and Griptillian. Benchmade produces an extensive offering, including folding knives, kitchen knives, hunting knives, tactical knives, knife sharpeners, and multi-tools. Today, Benchmade continues to focus on innovation, customer needs, responsible business ethics, and operations to bring the highest quality products to the world’s elite. In 1987, the Benchmade Knife Company was founded on the belief that real quality means forever, and on a strong commitment to product quality and customer relationships.

The S45VN blade here comes with the same hi viz orange Cerakote as the Flyway and Raghorn, and, like the latter, it also has full carbon fiber scales.Benchmade founder Les deAsis began building handmade custom Bali-Songs in the 1980s. The Meatcrafter is getting its third variation this year, albeit a fairly minor one. It also has a nice roomy handle and some spine jimping for precise control. Made from CPM-154 stainless, it should hold up better around watery conditions than its CruWear cousins. This little guy has a bird-and-trout style drop point that measures just 2.7 inches long. On the opposite end of the fixed blade size spectrum is the Flyway. This being Benchmade, however, they’ve also graced the design with some fine materials: fully contoured carbon fiber scales and CruWear blade steel. The Raghorn is made for hunters: that’s clear from the spine jimping, the 4.64-inch drop point blade shape, and the bright orange Cerakote.
The scalloped green G-10 scales cover the full tang construction, and it has a designated portion of the blade for striking ferro rods. Its blade steel is CruWear, so this one is clearly ready for lots of hard outdoors work. Like many of its stablemates it has a wide drop point blade, that here measures 5 inches in length. There are three new fixed blades from Benchmade, and among them the Anonimus is definitely the Papa Bear. This version has Arctic Storm scales from Fat Carbon and a Damasteel blade in their Aegir pattern. No surprise here: the 945 Mini Osborne was an immediate smash hit for Benchmade, so it was only a matter of time before they gave it the Gold Class treatment. Other than the rejiggered edge everything is the same here, right down to the two color options of OD green or black. With this in mind, we did some in-the-field testing of multiple blades to find the best backpacking knives for a variety of uses and budgets. If you aren't sure butterfly knives are for you, this is a great place to start. The Claymore, originally launched last year, is getting a low-key but important line expansion this year in the form of a plain edge model. Benchmark Knives specializes in steel butterfly knives (aka balisong knives) at an affordable price. This one comes with CPM-154 steel and Benchmade’s premium SelectEdge grind. It has the lightweight Grivory construction of the former (and weighs just 2.1 oz.), and the low-slung clip point and arching handle profile of the latter. The Taggedout looks like a cross between the Bugout and the Crooked River. Its handle scales are made from Grivory and it has a deep carry pocket clip, making this one of the more affordable and EDCable Black Class blades we’ve seen recently. The Redoubt has a nice big 3.5-inch drop point blade, made from D2 steel, opened with thumb studs, and secured by an Axis Lock. This one is billed as a “workhorse Black Class” knife, and certainly seems spec’d to fill that role.
The Shootout has a spine-riding slide button and a 3.51-inch tanto blade made from CPM-CruWear steel. Their latest in the genre is the Shootout, which is designed to be a more affordable counterpart to some of their previous OTFs (although it still stickers at $300).
Benchmade knives are American-made in Oregon. Their most popular models are the Bugout, Proper Slipjoint, and the Griptilian series. They offer a wide variety of options from hunting and tactical fixed blades to high-performing EDC folding knives. The Weekender comes in either gray G-10 or green Micarta neither version has a clip.Īutomatic knives have always been a core part of Benchmade’s lineup, perhaps more than with any of the other big manufacturers. Benchmade is one of the most widely-recognized knife manufacturers in the USA. Also on the back end is a bottle opening arm. But whereas its previous efforts in this arena, the Proper models, were single blade affairs, the Weekender packs in two blades: a main 2.97-inch clip point and, on the other end, a 1.97-inch backup spear point. Benchmade returns to the modern slipjoint genre this year with the Weekender.
