Meet The North Fork

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

Blade Style

Drop-Point: Drops off the spine to the tip. Tip height is typically below the center line on the blade.

Blade Steel

CPM-S30V Premium Stainless Steel (58-60HRC): First-of-it’s-kind steel designed specifically for use in knife blades. An excellent balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance and durability for a variety of applications.

Handle

Infused with resin and far more resistant to temperature changes, moisture and wear than untreated wood.

Opening Action

Manual: It must be opened 100% from the closed position to the open position by the user.

How it’s Made

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.

Uses

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
