Benchmade 4400-1 Casbah – Push-Button Automatic Knife
The Benchmade 4400-1 Casbah is the blue-handled version of Benchmade's lightweight Casbah automatic. It runs a 3.40" satin CPM-S30V drop point blade in a textured blue Grivory handle, and fires from a side-mounted push button for one-hand deployment.
Grivory is a glass-filled nylon, so it stays light and resists moisture and solvents, while stainless steel liners keep the lock rigid. The deep-carry pocket clip is reversible for left or right hand tip-up carry.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an automatic knife?
An automatic knife, sometimes called a switchblade, deploys its blade under spring pressure when you press a button or slide. The Benchmade 4400-1 Casbah is a side-opening push-button automatic: press the button in the handle and the 3.40" CPM-S30V blade snaps open and locks. That is different from an assisted opener, which still needs you to start the blade moving by hand.
Are automatic knives legal to carry?
Automatic knife laws vary by state, county, and city, and some places restrict blade length or ownership rather than banning automatics outright. Federal law also limits interstate sale of automatics. Check your current local and state laws before carrying the Benchmade 4400-1 Casbah, since it is a true automatic knife.
What is the difference between the Benchmade 4400 and the 4400-1 Casbah?
Only the handle colour. The Benchmade 4400 Casbah has a black textured Grivory handle and the Benchmade 4400-1 Casbah has a blue one. Both share the same 3.40" satin CPM-S30V drop point blade, push-button automatic action, and dimensions.
Who can buy an automatic knife?
It depends on where you live. Many states allow any adult to purchase and carry an automatic, while others limit sales to military, law enforcement, or emergency personnel. Going Gear ships the Benchmade 4400-1 Casbah in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local restrictions.
What steel is the Benchmade 4400-1 Casbah?
The Benchmade 4400-1 Casbah uses CPM-S30V stainless steel, a powder-metallurgy blade steel known for strong edge retention and good corrosion resistance. Being stainless, it does not need the oiling routine a carbon tool steel would.
What is LifeSharp and is it included?
LifeSharp is Benchmade's free lifetime sharpening and reconditioning service. Send the Benchmade 4400-1 Casbah back to Benchmade and they will clean, oil, adjust, and re-sharpen it to a factory edge. It is included for the life of the knife.
Where is the Benchmade 4400-1 Casbah made?
The Benchmade 4400-1 Casbah is made in the USA at Benchmade's factory in Oregon City, Oregon, where the company designs, manufactures, and services its knives.
Where can I buy the Benchmade 4400-1 Casbah?
You can buy the Benchmade 4400-1 Casbah at Going Gear, an authorized Benchmade dealer. Buying from an authorized dealer means a genuine knife backed by Benchmade's lifetime warranty and LifeSharp service.
