Description
Benchmade Station Knife | Maple Valley Richlite
Handle:Richlite/G10.Blade:CPM-154 Stainless Steel (58-61HRC).
A minimalist workhorse, this ultra-versatile kitchen tool was built, designed, and manufactured to perform. From field to table, this knife combines the power and exceptional quality of Benchmade’s proprietary SelectEdge® technology for a cut like no other. The gray PIM sheath is included for safe storage and easy transport from camp to the kitchen. Over time, Richlite®, a paper composite material, will develop a natural patina, altering the original color of the material. “Patina” is a natural occurrence in the product that can either darken or lighten depending on exposure to light.
Meet The Station Knife:
Designed with purpose and built to last, the Station Knife sets a high bar for durability and performance matched only by our promise that it will be yours, for life.
How It’s Made:
Every Benchmade knife begins with high-grade steel, laser-cut for precision and strength. Each blade is meticulously ground, beveled, and finished to exacting standards, ensuring exceptional performance and durability. Our handles are milled and machined in-house to the tightest tolerances, then hand-assembled and sharpened by expert technicians. With over thirty years of manufacturing excellence behind every edge, our knives are proudly crafted in our state-of-the-art facility in Oregon City, Oregon.
Features:
- Clip-Point
- Blade contains a sharp beak, typically forward of the midpoint, as if the tip has been “clipped off.”
- CPM-154 Stainless Steel (58-61HRC)
- This powder-metal version of conventional 154CM steel has a much finer microstructure with smaller carbide particles than its counterpart, resulting in improved toughness and strength.
- Richlite
- Used as a lightweight construction material for decades, Richlite is a durable, multi-layer fibrous paper composite that can be dyed in a wide array of colors.
- Fixed Blade
- These knives do not fold and typically include a sheath to protect the edge.
Use & Care:
Proper care and regular maintenance help make your Benchmade knife yours, for life. Here are some tips for keeping your Benchmade in peak condition:
• Prevent Rust: All steels, regardless of grade or price, can eventually rust. To avoid corrosion, always keep your knife clean, dry, and lightly lubricated. If rust or spotting appears, a quality semi-chrome metal polish can usually restore the finish.
• Hand-Wash Only: Always hand-wash your knife with warm water and mild dish soap, then dry thoroughly.
• Use as Intended: Benchmade knives are precision cutting tools. Do not use your knife as a pry-bar, screwdriver, chisel, or punch—unless specifically designed for those functions.
• Sharpen with Care: If sharpening at home, avoid grinding wheels and high-speed machinery, as they can damage the blade. Use appropriate hand-sharpening methods for best results.
• Tighten Hardware: Over time, handle, pivot, and pocket clip screws may loosen. Use T6 and T10 Torx drivers for adjustments and apply a small amount of releasable thread-locker to maintain secure fittings.
