Designed with Patrick Famin and Eric Demongivert, it packs a 1.60\" CPM-S30V wharncliffe blade, a bottle opener, a screwdriver and pry tip, a micro bit slot and a money clip into 1.80 oz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handle layers black G10 over a blue G10 base, so the edges of the scales show a blue line where the layers meet. It is a small, flat, quietly useful thing to carry, well suited to opening packages, breaking down boxes and the assorted small jobs that come up in a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.60\" CPM-S30V wharncliffe blade, 58-60 HRC, satin finish, plain edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-locking friction folder design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated bottle opener, screwdriver and pry tip, micro bit slot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack G10 handle over a blue G10 base layer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemovable and reversible money clip, tip-up carry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.80 oz, made in Oregon City, Oregon, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Benchmade 380 Aller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade steel: CPM-S30V stainless, 58-60 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade length: 1.60\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade thickness: 0.090\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade shape: Wharncliffe, plain edge, satin finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle: Black G10 with blue G10 base layer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanism: Friction folder, non-locking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosed length: 3.30\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall length: 4.48\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 1.80 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Made in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is a friction folder?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA friction folder has no lock and no spring. The blade is held open by friction against the pivot and by pressure from your grip, often assisted by an extended tang that your thumb or finger rests on. The Benchmade 380 Aller uses this design, which keeps it simple, slim and light, and in many jurisdictions places it in a less restricted category than a locking folder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes the Benchmade 380 Aller lock open?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The Benchmade 380 Aller is deliberately non-locking. Because there is no lock to stop the blade closing on your fingers, keep a proper grip on the handle, cut away from yourself and avoid tasks that push the spine of the blade back toward the closed position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is a wharncliffe blade good for?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA wharncliffe has a straight cutting edge with the spine curving down to meet it at the tip, so the whole edge stays in contact with what you are cutting. That makes the Benchmade 380 Aller good at controlled slicing on a flat surface, opening packaging and detail cuts where a fine point helps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is LifeSharp?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLifeSharp is Benchmade's lifetime factory service. Send your Benchmade 380 Aller to Benchmade and they will sharpen the blade, replace worn hardware where possible and return it to working condition, free of charge for the life of the knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhere is the Benchmade 380 Aller made?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Benchmade 380 Aller is designed and manufactured at Benchmade's facility in Oregon City, Oregon, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs Going Gear an authorized Benchmade dealer?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
