Benchmade Station Fixed Blade Knife - Maple Valley/Black G10

A minimalist workhorse, this ultra-versatile kitchen tool was built, designed and manufactured to perform. From field to table, this knife combines the power and exceptional quality of Benchmade proprietary SelectEdge technology for a cut like no other. The gray PIM sheath is included for safe storage and easy transport from camp to the kitchen. Over time, Richlite, a paper composite material, will develop a natural patina over time, altering the original color of the material. "Patina" is a natural occurrence in the product that can either darken or lighten depending on exposure to light.

• Made in USA

• Clip-Point: Blade contains a sharp beak, typically forward of the midpoint, as if the tip has been "clipped off"

• CPM-154 Stainless Steel (58-61HRC): This powder-metal version of conventional 154CM steel has a much finer microstructure with smaller carbide particles than it's counterpart, resulting in improved toughness and strength

• Richlite: Used as a lightweight construction material for decades, Richlite is a durable, multi-layer fibrous paper composite that can be dyed in a wide array of colors

• Fixed Blade: These knives do not fold and typically include a sheath to protect the edge

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

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
