Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Benchmade 808BK Loco discontinued?

What does BK mean on the Benchmade 808BK Loco?
The BK suffix refers to the blade: the Benchmade 808BK Loco carries a black-coated CPM-S30V blade, paired with the same milled black G10 handle as the satin model.
What is a reverse tanto blade on the Benchmade 808BK Loco?

A hardened steel bar rides in a slot across the liners and snaps over the blade tang when open. Pull the bar back on the Benchmade 808BK Loco and the blade swings free, fully ambidextrous in both directions.
