The Benchmade 417 Fact is a lightweight folding knife with an S30V steel blade that is comfortable to carry during the day.The Benchmade 417 Fact features a lightweight frame construction that perfectly combines functionality, everyday comfort and elegant style.American tool steelThe knife has a slim blade length of 100 mm and is made of American CPM-S30V stainless steel.S30V powder steel is hardened by Crucible Industries to an optimum hardness of 58-60 HRC , therefore it retains its sharpness for a long time, has high mechanical strength and is also resistant to corrosion .Due to its high vanadium carbide content, the steel has high toughness and wear resistance as well as excellent cutting properties. If you choose a hard steel knife, you should purchase a diamond sharpener, as sharpening with a standard ceramic steel stone can be very tedious and ineffective.AdvantagesThe spear-tip profile blade used is made using a satin finish (polishing) method. The dull blade is easier to clean and does not reflect light.The knife has a gentle line of the blade, a defined belly and a sharp point. The blade with this profile is an excellent choice for those looking for a knife for everyday use.The back of the spine is cut transversely, allowing the finger to be supported stably during cutting.The thickness of the blade at its widest point is 2.8 mm, which is a compromise between durability and functionality of the knife for everyday work.Easy to openThe blade can be opened comfortably and quickly with one hand using a two-sided pin, which is convenient for both right and left-handed people.Reliable lockBenchmade's flagship mechanism, a double-sided Axis-lock blockade is responsible for work safety, valued for its high mechanical strength, resistance to dirt and ease of use for right- and left-handed users.Aluminum handleThe knife is frame-mounted and has a 6061-T6 anodized aluminum sheath fixed to steel inserts. Thanks to its precision machining, the handle has a modern design and good grip, provided by transversal cuts and ergonomic shape.The semi-open handle design makes it easy to keep the knife clean.Interchangeable clipThe knife can be carried discreetly in a pocket thanks to the high-mounted clip that can be fitted on both sides of the handle.TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONSSheet informationBlade profile Dagger / DaggerSteel hardness [HRC] 58-60Blade lock type AXIS® lockKnife type foldingSnap type thumb studSteel type stainless steel - S30V Additional informationNo guardBlade: Metal - aluminiumCorrosion resistance: highDurability: okCut type: concaveApplication (intended use): EDC, tacticalDimensionsTotal length [mm] 221Blade length [mm] 100Length after folding [mm] 121Blade thickness [mm] 2.7Weight [g] 92
