Benchmade 4170BK Auto Fact folding knife

The Benchmade 4170BK Auto Fact stands out as a remarkable spring knife, seamlessly blending the sophistication of an Italian stiletto with the practicality of an everyday carry (EDC) knife and the dependability of tactical blades.

American Craftsmanship:

Featuring a slender 100mm blade forged from elite CPM-S90V stainless steel, meticulously hardened to a formidable 59-61 HRC, the Auto Fact ensures top-tier performance for EDC tasks. CPM-S90V, renowned for its high vanadium and carbon content, delivers exceptional edge retention, superior abrasion resistance, and remarkable corrosion resistance. Given its hardness, a diamond sharpener is recommended for optimal maintenance, as standard ceramic whetstones may prove less efficient.

Versatile Blade:

The utilitarian spear point blade profile, coated with a robust black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) protective layer, elevates durability and shields against corrosion, abrasion, and scratches. Notably, the blade features transverse cutters along the spine, enhancing stability during precision cutting tasks. With a thickness of 2.8mm at its widest point, the blade strikes a balance between durability and functionality for everyday use.

Effortless Deployment:

Equipped with a dual-sided locking slider, the blade unfolds swiftly and securely with just one hand, ensuring rapid readiness for any task. The Auto Axis-lock mechanism, revered for its mechanical robustness, dirt resistance, and user-friendliness, guarantees safety during operation. Additionally, an auxiliary lock prevents inadvertent blade deployment, enhancing user safety.

Elegant Handle Design:

The knife boasts 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum liners with steel reinforcing inserts, complemented by carbon fiber inserts and polished spacers, accentuating its luxurious appeal. Precision machining ensures a perfect fit and exceptional tactile experience. The semi-open handle design facilitates easy maintenance, keeping the knife pristine.

Convertible Clip:

Facilitating discreet pocket carry, the high-set clip can be effortlessly mounted on either side of the handle to suit individual preferences.
