Benchmade Knives

Benchmade Knives, established in 1979 in Clackamas, Oregon, is a premier American knife maker celebrated for its precision craftsmanship and innovative designs. Founded by Les de Asis, the company grew from a small butterfly knife operation into a leader, producing most of its blades at its Oregon City facility with advanced materials such as CPM-S30V steel and G10 handles.
With contributions from skilled designers like Shane Sibert, their lineup—including everyday carry, tactical, and outdoor knives—offers unmatched durability and performance for enthusiasts and pros alike. Benchmade backs its quality with the unique “LifeSharp” service, providing free sharpening and repairs to ensure lifelong reliability.
