Benchmade 4400BK Casbah – Push-Button Automatic Knife
The Benchmade 4400BK Casbah is the blacked-out version of Benchmade's lightweight Casbah automatic, running a 3.40" black Cerakote CPM-S30V drop point in a textured black Grivory handle. At 3.43 oz with a 4.4" closed length it carries like an ordinary EDC folder while giving you true one-hand automatic deployment.
The Cerakote finish cuts glare and adds a layer of corrosion protection on top of an already stainless steel. Deployment is a side-mounted push button with an integrated safety, and the gray PVD-coated deep-carry clip carries tip-up.

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 4400BK 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 4400BK Casbah, since it is a true automatic knife.
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 4400BK Casbah in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local restrictions.
How much does the Benchmade 4400BK Casbah weigh?
The Benchmade 4400BK Casbah weighs 3.43 oz (97.24 g). Between that weight, the 4.4" closed length and the deep-carry clip, it sits low in a pocket without the bulk of a heavier tactical automatic.
What is the difference between the Benchmade 4400 and the 4400BK Casbah?
The blade finish. The Benchmade 4400 Casbah has a satin CPM-S30V blade, while the Benchmade 4400BK Casbah has a black Cerakote one for reduced glare and extra corrosion protection. Both use the same black Grivory handle and push-button automatic action.
What steel is the Benchmade 4400BK Casbah?
The Benchmade 4400BK Casbah uses CPM-S30V stainless steel at 58-60 HRC, 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 4400BK 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 4400BK Casbah made?
The Benchmade 4400BK 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 4400BK Casbah?
You can buy the Benchmade 4400BK 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.
