610RUKUS
615mini-RUKUS
BLACKWOOD design
Back by popular demand, the Rukus
is anything but small. Big on form,
function and that wow factor. The
Rukus is certainly a crowd pleaser. And
for 2007 we roll out a little brother, in
the Mini-Rukus. Both are Blackwood
designed with the power of AXIS
mechanics. Both use a two-part handle
assembly with the ability to semicustomize the handle scales as you see
fit. If you are big on performance and
style, the Rukus and Mini-Rukus are
certainly worth their weight!

pardue design
Improve your gripping power Built
on the overwhelming success of the
Griptilian folders, the fixed blade design
can hold its own. Molded handle scales
with grippy soft rubber inserts are a
nice combination applied to a proven
handle shape. The drop-pointed, fullgrind blade packs more utility than you
will ever need no matter how far you
venture off the path. Look to
the Grip to fix your outdoor

32MORPHo
benchmade design
BMK raises the bar on Bali once more! A
patented liner-sprung latch opens with
a squeeze, yet locks open, too. Solid,
machined slab construction is built on
jeweled ti-liners. Heat-treated kicker
pins keep things rockin hard and fast,
and a practical blade shape is detailed
out with a crowned blade spine. Others
may get all the press, but Benchmade
still owns the glory when it comes to
Balis and the 32 proves it. Again.

This year we took the Stryker and gave
it a boost. With the new Nitrous assist
opening mechanism, one of your most
cherished knives just got better. The
Nitrous mechanism is built directly into
the liners, which propels the blade open
with ease. We also upgraded to more
tactile G10 handle scales, thumb studs
and an overall cool new look. The 912

EXPECTMORE
Edged tools that combine innovation, high technology,
superior materials and a passion to make the best knives
possible its Benchmade. The focus is to always be looking
for ways to improve and give the customer the best product
for the task. We didnt invent the knife; we simply listened
to you, and improved it.
whatsinaknife?
STRONGER. BETTER.
SAFER. SMARTER.
Everyday, whether at work,
at home or at play, you are
presented with options. Options
to accept complacency or the
opportunities to search out a
better way. And so it is with
knives, the option to have the
best tool for the job.
Too often people take their
choice of knives for granted when
the reality is that if they took
the extra time to learn the true
differences, it could translate into
extra time and money saved over
the long haul.
Easier access, enhanced edge
retention, durability, and higher
standards of manufacturing
qualities equate to enhanced
performancemore value for
the money.
Like most things, knives have
evolved over the years. Its well
worth your while to take some
time to seek out the modern
advantages.
There are some very important
considerations when it comes
to selecting and purchasing a
knife. The alternative could mean
frustration with a dull knife, or it
could mean regret of something
more serious. The choice is yours.

benchmade.com
MECHANISM
Can I open and close it easily, and
with one hand? Will it open and close
intuitively? Does it stay open or closed
reliably? Is it intended to enhance user
tool function, or only manufacturer
tool sales?
DESIGN
Is it a practical one? Will the blade shape
offer good utility? Does it fit my hand?
Will it support my cutting tool needs?
MATERIALS
Do the materials enhance its performance, or offer improved levels over
others? Are the materials strong, durable
and offer added value? How often will it
have to be resharpened?
QUALITY
Does it feel solid and well built? Does the
blade wobble? Do all of the components fit
together properly? Will the manu-facturer
warranty any issues?
forwardthinking
You must have it to succeed.
And to make certain it never
fades, we established the
Benchmade Custom Design Team.
Its founded on the premise of
a high regard for the individual
custom knife maker who pours
their genuine passions, and
given talents into making unique
realities one piece at a time. To
them, it goes beyond earning
a living, its an opportunity to
express their own interpretations
of cutting edge design.
Benchmade has perfected a
collaboration of efforts with these
rogues of conformity, tapping into
the newest in locking mechanisms,
progressive designs, and the
latest in materials. Ultimately, this
intellectual exchange transpires
into something special in the form
of a Benchmade knife.
THE DESIGNERS
MEL PARDUE
The senior team member, Mel has been grinding
sparks, making knives and creating a following for
20-plus years. His style has a class and simplicity all
its own. The Pardue collaborations offer great utility
to the everyday knife user while at the same time
presenting an upscale distinction. Less is definitely
more with Mels designs.
BILL McHENRY
& JASON WILLIAMS
It runs in the family Bill and stepson Jason spend
their days making exquisite pieces of art with an
edge on it. Their dedication and talents compliment
one another very well, and have led to several
noteworthy innovations in the knife making world.
Benchmade was fortunate to be involved with one such
innovation, the AXIS mechanism. The rest is history in
the making.
WARREN OSBORNE
STEVE FECAS
The mystique of custom knives, and what they have
to offer, caught Steves eye nearly 30 years ago, and
he has been creating his own mystique ever since. The
Fecas designs offer a stylish, swept-back profile all
their own.
ARMIN STUETZ
Armin has been making his fascination with knives a
livelihood for many years. Steirer Eisen, his own knife
manufacturing company, is located in Styria, Austria.
He brings an international presence to the team and
says he is only satisfied when his customers are
satisfied. Hmmsounds familiar.
MIKE SNODY
Exploding into the knife making world, Mike has
successfully created a name for himself in a short
amount of time by wrapping solid function in the
guise of contemporary design. His design influence is
derived from his own personal experiences. And his
sensitive side certainly hasnt held him back either.
NEIL BLACKWOOD
A lifelong hobby turned fulltime profession, Neil grew
up naturally working with his hands as his father was a
shop teacher. His custom work really takes advantage
of the latest materials and works them into creative
reflections of his detailed eye. He says if his love of
what he does ever fades, he will pick up a fishing pole.
KEN STEIGERWALT
In 1978 at the age of 15, Ken found himself at the
kitchen table with some files and a vise. Three years
later he decided that knifemaking was going to be his

THE MINDSET
It all starts with a commitment to innovation. And
for us, it goes beyond simply being innovatively
differentBenchmade continually strives to
be innovatively better. We believe that when
a customer chooses to purchase a Benchmade,
they dont do so just to be different, they do
so because they want the best. This mindset of
innovating for improvement is alive and well
throughout Benchmade, it goes into every design,
and comes out of every product. Admittedly, its
definitely not the easiest way to make knives, but
its the only way we know how.
ENGINEERING
Rocket science? Ok, well almost. It all starts with
a dedicated Engineering department hell bent
on getting it rightbefore a milling machine
ever starts. It means taking an often times
custom design concept and unique designer
personality, and then translating it into computer
renderings and programs for a multitude of
individual manufacturing processes. Our engineers
are continually checking and rechecking for
perfection, and we are fully integrated with our
outside manufacturing partners to ensure our
Benchmade quality standards are adhered to.
From the latest computer aided design (CAD)
software and 3-D modeling technologies to

FUNCTIONALinnovation
Seems simple enough. You open
the knife, you close the knife. But
its the mechanics of motion that
happens in the process, which
can make the difference between
ordinary and extraordinary. Is
the knife easy to actuate, can
the knife be opened with one
hand, is it ambidextrous, and
will it be reliable when you need
it most? These are all essential
considerations when it comes to
knife mechanics.

NITROUS
LOCK BACK
Another patented Benchmade exclusive, the Nitrous
boosts the blade with ease. As the blade is closed the
two torsion arms which run the length of the handle
liners are secured in place and make contact with the
blade tang. As tensioned against the blade tang, the
user rotates the blade open to a 30-degree angle, the
torsion arms take over and continue the blade opening
process on its own. The huge advantages to the Nitrous
design over other similar concepts, is that the blade
must be rotated open to beyond a 30-degree angle,
which offers added user control. The choice is yours.

So whats it made of? Which
blade steel is best? Just a couple
of the questions we are asked
when people see our knives,
and the answers come down to
this Benchmade uses a variety
of modern materials specially
selected for their superior
performance characteristics.
S30V
An American made and developed premium grade
stainless steel created especially for knives. It is a powder
made steel with a uniform carbide distribution and clean
steel properties. As a blade material it offers excellent
corrosion resistance and superb edge qualities.
D2
An air-hardened tool steel, which offers good
corrosion resistance and excellent mileage in wear
resistance. A good choice for hard use applications.
440C
A high-chromium stainless steel with a terrific balance
of good hardness and corrosion resistance. 440C
takes a nice edge and is fairly easy to resharpen. An
excellent value priced steel for its performance.
N690
An Austrian made stainless steel, which is comparable
to 440C in performance and value. Keen edge qualities
with great corrosion resistance.
9Cr13CoMoV
A Chinese made high-carbon stainless steel with
increased levels of cobalt added for greater edge
retention. Offers a highler level of corrosion
resistancy at a great value.
AUS-8
A Japanese made medium-carbon, high chromium
stainless steel, which offers a good balance of
toughness, edge sharpness and corrosion resistance.
54

8Cr14MoV
STABILIZED WOOD
X15 T.N
This French steel was developed for the aircraft
industry for jet ball bearings, as well as the medical
industry for scalpels. It has the ability to resist rust in
the worst of conditions while maintaining ample edge
retention. The capability behind this steel is in the
way it is manufactured, resulting in the finest steel
for use in harsh environments such as salt water. The
edge on an X-15 T.N blade is easier to maintain.
DAMASCUS
A specially forged, layered steel made up of a variety
of steels. It offers remarkable toughness and edge
quality. For finishing, the surface layers or lines are
exposed through an acid etch, which creates a very
unique visual effect. Used in special applications due
to its inherent high cost and artistic nature.
BK1 COATING
BK1 coating. It is a matte black coating that provides
excellent corrosion protection, which exceeds the
ASTM-117 spec for saltwater while possessing higher
scratch resistance.
BT2 COATING
A proprietary blade coating that is Xylan based to
provide excellent corrosion resistance which exceeds
the ASTM-117 spec for saltwater and increases overall
surface lubricity.
BP1 COATING
Black Pearl (BP) is a PVD (physical vapor deposition)
coating made up of Titanium Carbo-Nitride (TiCN for
short). It is a darker, near black, scratch resistant
coating with nice decorative qualities.
COMBOEDGE
It denotes our partial serration on the plain edge
blade configuration. Benchmades serration pattern
offers ideal cutting ability for fibrous materials such
as webbing, straps, netting or rope.
HEAT-TREATMENT
Over the years we have developed a special recipe
for heat-treating our blade steels. This process
maximizes the steels molecular structure for a custom
toughness and Benchmade superior performance. All
steels may be created equally, but that is where it
stops when it comes to Benchmade.
HANDLES
CARBON FIBER
A contemporary, premium composite of thin strands
of carbon tightly woven into various weave patterns,
then set in resin, which is most commonly clear
but can be color tinted. It offers great looks and is
exceptionally strong for its minimal weight.
MICARTA
Layers of linen cloths soaked in resin and pressured
together. Most commonly used on more stylish knives
due to its rich color finish qualities.
KRATON
A thermoplastic elastomer offering excellent flexibility
and memory elasticity even under harsh conditions. It
is over-molded onto the handle for added grip surface
and tactile qualities.
NORYL GTX
A modern engineered plastic offering high-strength,
minimal flex and optimally lightweight properties.
Molded to form.
G10
An extremely durable makeup of layers of fiberglass
soaked in resin, then highly compressed and baked.
Impervious to moisture or liquid and physically stable
under climate change. Most commonly black, but is
available in various colors, too.
ZYTEL
A lightweight glass filled nylon engineered for
strength and durability. Widely used throughout the
auto industry in engine related components. Molded
to form.
KYDEX
A mixture of acrylic and PVC, which offers outstanding
impact and chemical resistance as well as fire
retardancy. Widely used in the auto and aerospace
industry. Molded or thermo-formed.
DELRIN
A lightweight and durable engineered polymer with
low wear properties. Used throughout the auto
industry. Molded to form.
VALOX
A reinforced resin with excellent stiffness, strength
and dimensional stability. Molded to form.
ANODIZATION
An electrochemical process used for adding color to
titanium surfaces. A combination of chemical bath and
electrical voltage level generates the desired color. A
similar process is used for aluminum with the addition
of a chemical coloring bath.

LINERS
6AL 4V-TITANIUM
Considered an exotic metal alloy (Titanium + 6%
Aluminum + 4% Vanadium) with an excellent strength
to weight ratio, which offers exceptional performance
in a knife. Titanium is corrosion resistant to natural
elements as well as many industrial chemicals.
SHEATHS
BALLISTICS NYLON
A heavy duty woven nylon fabric originally deve-loped
for use in bullet proof vests and body armor. Offers
great lightweight sheath durability.
SANTOPRENE
A thermoplastic elastomer which is molded to
specification. It offers excellent flexibility with high
tear strength and fatigue resistance. Resistance to
many harsh chemicals. These features contribute to
