Benchmade Mediator® Knife - Black

• Premium material
• Free sharpening
• Made in the USA

Designed with purpose and built to last, the Mediator sets a high bar for durability and performance matched only by the promise that it will be yours, for life.

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

CPM-S90V Premium Stainless Steel (59-61HRC): A true super-steel, S90V offers substantial improvements in corrosion resistance over 440C and wear resistance beyond that of any other steel in the lineup.

G10: Multiple layers of resin-laminated fiberglass make G10 incredibly durable, rigid and resistant to the elements.

Automatic: "Autos" have a button or other actuation switch that mechanically fires the blade open without the user directly manipulating the blade.

Laser-cut from sheets of high-grade steel, every Benchmade blade is ground, beveled and finished with uncompromising precision. Mill and machine handles in-house to the most exacting specifications and every knife is hand-assembled and sharpened by highly trained technicians bringing to bear over thirty years of manufacturing excellence in the state-of-the-art factory in Oregon City, Oregon.

Proper care and regular maintenance help make your Benchmade knife yours, for life. Here are some tips for keeping your Benchmade in peak condition

• All steel, regardless of price and grade, can eventually rust, so it's important to keep your knife dry and lubricated. If spotting or rust occurs, semi-chrome metal polish will often take care of it
• Dishwashers can cause serious damage that is not covered under the warranty, so make sure to hand-wash your Benchmade under warm water with dish soap only and dry thoroughly
• Remember, knives are cutting tools and you should never use your knife as a pry-bar, screwdriver, chisel or punch, unless the knife is designed explicitly for those purposes
• If you choose to sharpen your blade yourself, avoid grinding wheels and other high-powered machinery
• Handle, pivot and pocket clip screws may require occasional adjustment using T6 & T10 Torx drivers. Recommend applying a small dab of releasable thread-locker as needed
