Benchmade Red Class
The Benchmade Red Class continues to provide high value opportunities to first time knife buyers; while providing knife enthusiasts with a trusty tool at a tempting price. The commitment to quality and innovation are just the same, whether working with our select overseas manufacturers or making it here ourselves. New designs this year from the Red Class provide you with options; while keeping your pocket book from going in the red.
DROP-POINT
A slow convex-curved drop in the point characterizes a drop-point blade. The drop-point format lowers the point for control but adds strength to the tip. Usually coupled with plenty of belly for slicing, this format is often used for hunting knives. It is also a fantastic all-around blade format. This blade shape can be found on a wide array of knives.
MODIFIED LOCKING-LINER
The basic principle is an integral locking bar within the knife liner being stress bent, enabling it to spring into position behind the rear tang of the blade when the blade is opened. The locking bar wedges against the rear of the blade, locking it open until you physically push it clear and close the blade. With little practice, the process of opening and closing the blade can be done single-handed (locking-liners are made either right or left hand specific). And with a Benchmade modified locking-liner you get a patented feature, which helps to enhance the lock function. The function success and function failure of a locking liner depends greatly on how well it is made and also the quality of the materials used. With Benchmade, you get the best of both, and we offer it in a variety of knives.
