Frequently Asked Questions
What blade steel does the Benchmade Redoubt 430SBK use?
The Benchmade Redoubt 430SBK runs a 3.55" combo-edge blade in CPM-D2, a powdered tool steel hardened to roughly 60-62 HRC. It holds a keen edge through heavy cutting and resists chipping, and the serrated section adds extra bite for tough materials.
How do I sharpen the serrated Benchmade Redoubt 430SBK?
The plain portion sharpens on any stone or guided system, and the serrations can be touched up with a tapered rod. Every Benchmade knife also includes LifeSharp, Benchmade's free lifetime sharpening service, so you can send the Benchmade Redoubt 430SBK back to the factory to be sharpened and re-tuned for the life of the knife.
How does the AXIS lock on the Benchmade Redoubt 430SBK work?
The AXIS lock is a fully ambidextrous bar lock. Pull the crossbar back with your thumb or finger, swing the blade open or closed, and release. The Benchmade Redoubt 430SBK opens and closes one-handed from either side, and the lock stays strong under hard use.
Why choose the serrated Benchmade Redoubt 430SBK?
The partially serrated edge on the Benchmade Redoubt 430SBK is ideal if you regularly cut rope, seatbelts, webbing, or other fibrous material. You keep a plain edge up front for clean slicing and gain aggressive serrations toward the handle for sawing tasks.
Is it legal to carry the Benchmade Redoubt 430SBK?
The Benchmade Redoubt 430SBK is a manual-opening folding knife, which is legal to own and carry in most areas. Knife laws vary by state and city, so always check your local laws on blade length and carry before you carry it.
