- Q: How do I sharpen my knife?
The key is to maintain the edge angles on the blade. Benchmade knife blades leave the factory with a 30-35 degree inclusive angle. Benchmade recommends you use their LifeSharp service. This is a great way to get your knife sharpened, but to also have our qualified technicians service it for optimal performance. Contact Benchmade Customer Service at 1-800-800-7427 for more information about LifeSharp.
- Q: Where do I find the model number of my knife?
Most Benchmade knives, have the model number under the butterfly logo on the front of the blade (see photo below). So if you have a serrated 551, it will be labeled "551" under the logo, and the full model number to designate the configuration would be "551S", where the "S" signifies the serrations.
- Q: Why is there a butterfly in the Benchmade logo?
When Benchmade was founded, their first product was the Bali-Song, or butterfly, knife. and the butterfly logo symbolizes the company's ties to their first knives.

Should I Get a Fixed Blade Knife or a Folding Knife?
Fixed Blade Knives
A fixed-blade knife is a solid piece of steel anchored to the handle. For those who want a blade they really trust for tough jobs, such as field dressing and tough camping tasks, a fixed blade is the answer. Fixed blades are durable because of their straight, simple construction without folding mechanisms. In fixed blade knives, the blade is one piece of metal that runs the length of the knife.
Folding Blade (Pocket) Knives
Folding blade knives (also known as a pocket knife) offer safety and the carrying convenience because they tend to be compact in size.They come in a variety of configurations, and the blade hinges open and then locks into place. Locking assemblies allow much of the same confidence of a fixed-blade while letting you close the blade into the handle for safety.
