The Benchmade Contego 810SBK remains one of the most frequently reviewed and requested hard-use folders Benchmade has made.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a reverse tanto blade?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA reverse tanto, as featured on the Benchmade Contego 810SBK, angles the spine down to meet the edge instead of angling the edge up to the spine. This keeps a strong, thick tip for piercing and prying-adjacent tasks while preserving a useful belly for slicing, a signature grind of designer Warren Osborne.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs CPM-M4 stainless steel, and how do I care for it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The CPM-M4 in the Benchmade Contego 810SBK is a non-stainless tool steel prized for extreme toughness and edge retention at 62-64 HRC. The black Cerakote protects most of the blade, but keep the exposed edge dry and wipe it with a light coat of oil after use to prevent corrosion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow does the AXIS lock on the Benchmade Contego 810SBK work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AXIS lock on the Benchmade Contego 810SBK uses a hardened steel bar that rides across the tang of the blade, locking it open with full spine strength. It is fully ambidextrous and lets you close the knife without ever putting fingers in the blade path.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes Benchmade still sharpen the Contego 810SBK?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Benchmade's LifeSharp service will clean, oil, adjust, and re-sharpen the Benchmade Contego 810SBK to a factory edge for the life of the knife, free of charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere is the Benchmade Contego 810SBK made?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Benchmade Contego 810SBK was made in the USA at Benchmade's facility in Oregon City, Oregon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Benchmade Contego 810SBK?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Benchmade Contego 810SBK is available at Going Gear, an authorized Benchmade dealer.
