The handle pairs a dark gray Grivory core with a black Versaflex overmold, the dual durometer construction that gave the Boost line its grippy, shock absorbing feel in hand.

S30V holds an edge well, resists corrosion, and sharpens back to a fine working edge without special equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the Benchmade Boost 590 an automatic knife?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The Benchmade Boost 590 is an assisted opening knife, not an automatic. Its AXIS Assist mechanism finishes opening the blade after you start it with the thumb stud, and an integrated slide safety locks it closed. Assisted openers are legal in more places than automatics, but knife laws vary, so always check your local regulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a Blue Class Benchmade knife?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlue Class was Benchmade's label for its everyday carry line, and the Benchmade Boost 590 was sold as a Blue Class model. Benchmade has since retired the color class system, but Blue Class knives like the Boost 590 were built in the same Oregon City, Oregon factory as the rest of the lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the Benchmade Boost and the Benchmade Freek?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Benchmade Boost 590 uses AXIS Assist with a dual durometer Versaflex and Grivory handle, while the Benchmade Freek 560 family uses the manual AXIS lock with a similar dual durometer grip. The Freek carried the concept forward after Benchmade discontinued the Boost line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes LifeSharp cover the Benchmade Boost 590?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Benchmade's LifeSharp service covers the Benchmade Boost 590 for the life of the knife, even though the model is discontinued. Benchmade will clean, oil, adjust, and resharpen it to a factory edge for free.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Benchmade Boost 590?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBenchmade has discontinued the Boost 590, so remaining stock is limited to dealer shelves and the secondary market. Going Gear is an authorized Benchmade dealer and carries the current Benchmade lineup, including modern assisted and AXIS lock alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Benchmade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52876858818880,"sku":"BCM-590","price":117.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0807\/8953\/7088\/files\/gg_320_a4a50853-e416-427e-b1c3-49f25a64f3d9.jpg?v=1785255967","url":"https:\/\/goinglights.com\/products\/benchmade-590-boost-assisted-opening-folding-knife-3-7-inch-blade","provider":"Going Lights","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
