Benchmade 4400SBK Casbah – Push-Button Automatic Knife
The Benchmade 4400SBK Casbah is the combo-edge version of Benchmade's lightweight Casbah automatic, with a 3.40" black-coated CPM-S30V drop point and a textured black Grivory handle. At roughly 2.45 oz it carries easily, and the partially serrated edge makes it the practical pick if you cut a lot of rope, webbing, or strapping.
The plain forward section still handles slicing and detail work, while the serrations keep biting through fibrous material long after a plain edge would start to slip. Deployment is a side-mounted push button, and the deep-carry clip reverses 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 4400SBK 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 4400SBK Casbah, since it is a true automatic knife.
Why choose the combo edge on the Benchmade 4400SBK Casbah?
The Benchmade 4400SBK Casbah uses a partially serrated combo edge, which is the better choice if you regularly cut rope, cord, webbing, or strapping. If you mostly do clean slicing, the plain-edge Benchmade 4400BK Casbah is easier to maintain.
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 4400SBK Casbah in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local restrictions.
What steel is the Benchmade 4400SBK Casbah?
The Benchmade 4400SBK 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.
