Blue Class blades

Within the Blue Class line, you will find steels that retain their sharpness for a very long time. This is an important feature for a knife you'll be using every day for a variety of cutting jobs. For example, steel types like CPM S30V, CPM S90V, CPM 3V or Böhler M390. The blade shapes in this Class are simple yet effective, making them suitable for a large range of cutting tasks.

Blue Class handles

Knives from the Blue Class line are lightweight, so they won't bother you when you carry them everywhere you go. Benchmade achieves this by omitting steel liners and using lightweight materials for the handle scales, such as grivory, carbon fibre or aluminium.

A locking mechanism commonly found on knives in Benchmade's Blue Class is the AXIS lock. This Benchmade invention is popular among knife fans.
