Use

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 its 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
