The 890BK carries the same 3.60\" 154CM modified drop point as the standard Torrent 890, finished in black for a lower-glare, non-reflective look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Nitrous Assist on the Benchmade Torrent 890BK?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Nitrous Assist on the Benchmade Torrent 890BK is a spring-assist opening system co-designed by Ken Steigerwalt and Matthew Lerch. A light push on the thumb stud engages the assist, which drives the blade fully open, where the locking liner secures it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs an assisted-opening knife like the Benchmade Torrent 890BK legal to carry?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAssisted-opening knives like the Benchmade Torrent 890BK are not automatics. The blade must be started manually with the thumb stud before the spring takes over, so they are treated more leniently than push-button autos in most jurisdictions. Knife laws vary by state and city, so check your local laws before carrying.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes Benchmade still sharpen the Torrent 890BK?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
