Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Benchmade 808SBK Loco discontinued?
Yes. Benchmade has discontinued the Loco family, so the Benchmade 808SBK Loco is no longer in production and remaining examples are collector items.
What is the combo edge on the Benchmade 808SBK Loco?
The SBK suffix means a black-coated, partially serrated blade: the Benchmade 808SBK Loco keeps a plain edge toward the tip for clean slicing and serrations near the handle for rope, webbing, and other fibrous material.
What is a reverse tanto blade on the Benchmade 808SBK Loco?
A reverse tanto angles the spine down to meet the edge, giving the Benchmade 808SBK Loco a strong, thick tip for piercing and hard-use work while keeping a useful flat cutting edge.
How does the AXIS lock on the Benchmade 808SBK Loco work?
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 808SBK Loco and the blade swings free, fully ambidextrous in both directions.
Does Benchmade offer lifetime sharpening for the Benchmade 808SBK Loco?
Yes. Benchmade's LifeSharp service covers the Benchmade 808SBK Loco for the life of the knife, including its serrated section, at no charge beyond shipping.
