Benchmade Phaeton 4600DLC-1 OTF Automatic Knife
The Benchmade Phaeton 4600DLC-1 is a spine-fire out-the-front (OTF) automatic that blends speed and style in a slim, semi-tactical everyday carry package. It runs a 3.45" DLC-coated CPM-S30V drop-point blade in a lightweight Dark Earth aluminum handle, tipping the scales at just 3.01 oz for easy pocket carry.
Designed and manufactured in the USA at Benchmade's Oregon City, Oregon factory, the Phaeton 4600DLC-1 uses a spine-mounted slide that fires the blade out the front and retracts it just as quickly. The DLC coating adds corrosion and wear resistance, making this OTF a durable daily companion.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an OTF knife?
An OTF (out-the-front) knife deploys the blade straight out of the front of the handle rather than pivoting open. The Benchmade Phaeton 4600DLC-1 fires from a spine-mounted slide for fast, one-hand deployment.
How does the Benchmade Phaeton 4600DLC-1 work?
Slide the spine-mounted switch forward and the Benchmade Phaeton 4600DLC-1 fires its DLC CPM-S30V blade out the front and locks open. Pull the slide back to retract the blade into the handle.
Are automatic OTF knives legal?
Automatic and OTF knife laws vary by state and country. Before buying the Benchmade Phaeton 4600DLC-1, check your local laws to confirm automatic knives are legal to own and carry where you live.
What steel does the Benchmade Phaeton 4600DLC-1 use?
The Benchmade Phaeton 4600DLC-1 uses CPM-S30V stainless steel with a DLC coating for added corrosion and wear resistance along with strong edge retention.
Does the Benchmade Phaeton 4600DLC-1 include free sharpening?
Yes. Every Benchmade Phaeton 4600DLC-1 is covered by Benchmade's LifeSharp service, which provides free professional sharpening and cleaning for the life of the knife.
Where can I buy the Benchmade Phaeton 4600DLC-1?
You can buy the Benchmade Phaeton 4600DLC-1 at Going Gear, an authorized Benchmade dealer, so your knife is backed by the full factory warranty and LifeSharp service.
