The Benchmade 4400-1 Casbah is a lightweight automatic knife with a CPM-S30V stainless steel blade, discreet pop-up knob and durable G10 laminate sheath.American tool steelThe knife has a useful 86mm blade length, made from American CPM-S30V stainless steel.Crucible Industries' S30V powder steel is hardened to an optimum hardness of 58-60 HRC, so it maintains high sharpness for long periods of time, has high mechanical strength and is corrosion resistant.Due to the high vanadium carbide content, the steel has high toughness and abrasion resistance, as well as excellent cutting properties. The blade is made with a satin finish (polishing) method.When choosing a hard steel knife, you should get a diamond sharpener, as sharpening with a standard ceramic steel stone can be very tedious and ineffective.UtilityThe blade with a usable drop point profile is made with a satin finish (polishing) method. The dull blade is easier to clean and does not reflect light.The knife has a finely marked belly and a strong point. The blade with this profile is an excellent choice for those looking for a knife for everyday use.The back of the spine has transverse cutters that allow the fingers to rest firmly when planing or making precise cuts.The blade thickness at the widest point is 2.9 mm , which is a compromise between the durability and functionality of the knife for everyday work.Instant disassemblyThe main advantage of an automatic knife is its convenient and fast unfolding system . Unlike models with an auxiliary blade, an automatic knife requires only the push of a button to unfold the blade, which is responsible for releasing the lock and activating a strong spring.To fold the blade, the button must be pressed again and the blade must be retracted manually. Such functionality makes "automatics" very popular with soldiers, uniformed services and EDC enthusiasts.The enlarged release button is embedded in a milled cut-out so it does not extend over the handle.We recommend extreme caution and care when using an automatic knife.Reliable lockThe flagship Benchmade 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 by right and left-handed users.Comfortable gripThe profiles of the Benchmade 4400-1 Casbah are equipped with a handle in Blue Grivory . The glass-epoxy laminate used is characterized by low weight, high mechanical strength, resistance to water, temperature changes and exposure to many acids and solvents.The contoured shape, finger bite, transverse bite and rough texture of the material combine to ensure excellent grip and comfort during use.The knife can be carried discreetly in the pocket thanks to the clip that can be fixed high on either side of the sheath.TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONSBlade informationBlade profile Drop pointSteel hardness [HRC] 58-60Blade lock type Automatic push buttonKnife type foldingSnap type buttonSteel type stainless steel - S30V Additional informationClip for carrying onBlade material PlasticCorrosion resistance highDull resistance very highNo sheathCut type flat Opening support yes, spring loadedApplication (normal use) EDCMetersOverall length [mm] 198Blade length [mm] 87Length after folding [mm] 112Blade thickness [mm] 2.9Weight [g] 97
