Benchmade Knives. Benchmade Knife Care
Benchmade knives are high-performance cutting tools made from some of the finest materials in the world. Even though we use these select materials it is still important to use proper care and maintenance to ensure optimum performance levels. Always keep your knife blade sharp. A dull knife requires additional force to use and is potentially more dangerous to use than a sharp one. There are a variety of products available when it comes to sharpening your knife.
Benchmade also offers a LifeSharp™ service to its customers, which is a nice convenience. As for which one is best, it pretty much comes down to choosing the one you're most comfortable with using. Never sharpen your knife on a power-grinding wheel as this can burn the temper out of the blade and weaken its integrity.
Always keep the locking areas of your knife clean- accumulation of dirt or debris could adversely affect the locking mechanism creating a potential safety hazard. To clean these areas we recommend using compressed air and lubricating with the specialty lubricant, BlueLube.
Most of our blade steels have a very high carbon content which enables them to hold a superior cutting edge. Unfortunately, carbon is also the element that causes rust so, preventive care is required if the knife is used in humid or marine environments. To aid in the cleaning of rust on the blades, we recommend using a fine grade, semi-chrome polish. A product such as marine Tuf-Cloth™ works well to not only wipe down the blade for cleaning but, also adds an invisible coating for added corrosion protection without leaving any oily film which may attract dirt and debris. Lightly lubricate the pivot of the blade periodically to keep it operating smoothly.

Kitchen Knives. 3 Must Have Kitchen Knives
The Three Must-Have Knives
Skip the fancy knife sets -- with these three essentials, you're equipped for nearly every cutting task
One of my favorite games is Desert Island, where someone picks a category -- books, CDs, wines -- and you name the one you'd pack if you were banished to a desert island. I get to spend time in the kitchen with a lot of great cooks as part of my job, and at some point, I usually ask what their Desert Island kitchen tools are. You'd think the answer might vary depending on the cook, but the response is always the same: "My knives."
Unlike writers, musicians, or people in the wine trade, though, who gather collections equal in size to their passion, the chefs I know don't usually have a million knives. Instead, they use a few trusty tools for almost all of their cooking. In fact, most of the work you do in the kitchen is best performed by just three knives: a chef's knife, a paring knife, and a serrated bread knife. (Though there are some tasks that call for specialty knives, if you do them often enough.) Invest wisely in these three, and you're equipped like a pro.
Chef's knife
This is the true workhorse of the kitchen. With a 6- to 12-inch blade that's at least 1-1/2 inches deep at the widest point, the chef's knife can take on all kinds of slicing, dicing, chopping and mincing. Properly sharpened, it can also handle breaking downa and boning large cuts of meat (though if you do it a lot, you may prefer a cleaver and a boning knife for those tasks). And the side of the blade is great for crushing garlic cloves, ginger, and lemongrass.
A chef's knife can feel intimidating to novice cooks, especially if it has a long blade, but don't be afraid of it. Learn to use one, even if it's just a 6-incher, and you'll soon gain speed, control, and confidence. The longer blade may take a little getting used to, but it's worth it because a chef's knife is extremely efficient for slicing and chopping. Grabbing a small knife for every task limits you, and you'll get tired faster, especially when you're chopping large amounts.
Paring knife
The blade of a paring knife ranges from 3 to 4 inches long, and is usually about 3/4 inch deep at the widest point. Its small size makes it really feel like an extension of your hand, and it's perfect for peeling and paring fruit and vegetables, coring tomatoes and fruits, trimming chicken, scoring doughs, and any other exacting task where the heft and long blade of a chef's knife would get in the way.
Serrated bread knife
For bagels, baguettes, and any other crusty bread you've got to have a good, sharp serrated bread knife. Look for one 9 inches or longer--enough to span a big loaf. A serrated knife also comes in handy for cutting through tomatoes or other soft, fleshy produce, as well as slicing cake layers cleanly and evenly.

Knife Review : Benchmade Pika II
Knife Review : Benchmade Pika II
A Knife You Can Depend On Benchmade Knives.
Law enforcement and military professionals consider a good knife an essential piece of their operating equipment. While many people look for knives that are attractive, or offer cool features, military knives are practical. These professionals are looking for a knife that could save their lives - they need something they can count on - like Benchmade knives or Smith & Wesson knives.
Benchmade Knives are a brand of innovative knives tactical and survival knives made for the military and law enforcement. Benchmade Knives are also known for making a unique type of knife referred to as the Balisong knife. This knife is also called a butterfly knife - it's a Philippine folding knife with two handles. This knife can be opened by flipping the knife open with one hand. Balisong is a registered product name of Benchmade Knives.
While many knife manufacturers emphasize their old world standards and knife building skills, Benchmade Knives are known for bringing knife making into the 21 century. Benchmade Knives use computer aided design (CAD) software and 3-D modeling techniques, along with years of experience making knives, to produce a line of knives of unsurpassed quality.
Benchmade knives are made of high carbon steel. This type of steel enables the blade to maintain its superior cutting edge. Typically, Benchmade products represent the higher-end knife manufacturing, with some of their knives being restricted to only military and law enforcement officials.
Another great brand of tactical knives is the Smith and Wesson knives. Of course, Smith and Wesson is known as the largest manufacturer of handguns and ammunition in the United States With a solid reputation in the law enforcement community, it's only natural that Smith and Wesson explored another area of equipment - tactical knives.
Smith and Wesson knives are affordable options for police professionals and SWAT team members. Smith and Wesson knives are designed to stand up to the rigors of everyday use. These knives offer rugged design and dependable performance. They maintain their edge and Smith and Wesson knives can be re-sharpened without damaging the quality of the blade.
Smith and Wesson knives are licensed by Taylor Cutlery of Tennessee. You can see the connection between Smith and Wesson knives and the law enforcement community by the name used for several of the line of knives, including the S.W.A.T, HRT, and 911 knife series.
When it comes to finding a knife that is dependable and good quality, law enforcement professionals turn to two well known names that they can count on - Benchmade knives and Smith and Wesson knives. It makes perfect sense that these knives will also appeal to a collector, or anyone that considers a knife an essential tool.
