The Benchmade 4400BK Casbah is a lightweight automatic knife , featuring a CPM-S30V stainless steel blade, a discreet deployment button and liners made of durable G10 laminate . American tool steel The knife has a usable 86mm drop-point blade made of American CPM-S30V stainless steel. Crucible Industries' S30V powder steel is hardened to an optimal hardness of 58-60 HRC , so it maintains a high sharpness for a long time , has high mechanical strength, and is also resistant to corrosion. Thanks to its high vanadium carbide content, the steel is distinguished by its high impact and wear resistance, as well as its excellent cutting properties . The blade is finished by satin finishing (polishing). When choosing a hard-steel knife, get a diamond sharpener, as sharpening with a standard ceramic whetstone can be very labor-intensive and inefficient. Utility head The utility drop point profile blade is coated with a layer of black Teflon, which protects the blade from minor scratches. The knife has a gently marked blade belly and a strong hilt. A head with this profile is an excellent choice for those looking for a knife for everyday use . Transverse cutters have been made on the back of the ridge, allowing a stable finger rest during planing or precision cutting . The thickness of the blade at its widest point is 2.9 mm , which is a compromise between durability and functionality of the knife for everyday use. Instant unfolding The main advantage of the automatic knife, is the comfortable and fast unfolding system . Unlike models with an assisted head, in an automatic knife, unfolding the blade requires only pressing a button, which is responsible for releasing the lock and activating the powerful spring. Folding the blade requires pressing the button again and manually retracting the blade. Such functionality makes "automatics" very popular among soldiers, uniformed service personnel and edc enthusiasts. The enlarged release button is embedded in a milled cutout, so it does not protrude above the handle. Extreme caution and prudence are recommended when using the automatic knife. Reliable locking mechanism Benchmade's flagship mechanism, the double-sided Axis-lock , which is valued for its immense mechanical strength, dirt resistance and convenient operation for right- and left-handed users, is responsible for safe operation. Comfortable grip The Benchmade 4400-1 Casbah has contoured Grivory blue plastic liners . The glass-epoxy laminate used is characterized by light weight, high mechanical strength, resistance to water, temperature change, as well as many acids and solvents. The contoured shape, combined with the finger undercut, cross-milling and rough texture of the plastic, provide excellent grip of the knife and comfort of use. Discreetly carrying the knife in a pocket is made possible by a high-set clip with attachment options on both sides of the facings.
