Frequently Asked Questions
What blade steel does the Benchmade PSK 593BK use?
The Benchmade PSK 593BK uses CPM-MagnaCut, a premium stainless tool steel prized for its rare mix of high edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. It is an excellent choice for a survival and EDC blade that faces wet, dirty, hard-use conditions.
How does the AXIS-Assisted opening on the Benchmade PSK 593BK work?
Push the thumb stud and the AXIS spring drives the blade the rest of the way open, so the Benchmade PSK 593BK deploys fast and one-handed. The same ambidextrous AXIS bar unlocks the blade to close it, and the lock is strong enough for demanding tasks.
How do I sharpen the Benchmade PSK 593BK?
CPM-MagnaCut sharpens well on a quality stone or guided system. Every Benchmade also includes LifeSharp, Benchmade's free lifetime sharpening service, so you can send the Benchmade PSK 593BK back to the factory to be professionally sharpened and re-tuned for the life of the knife.
