Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Benchmade Ball AXIS Flipper 300-1301 a limited edition?
The Benchmade Ball AXIS Flipper 300-1301 is a numbered limited edition of 350 pieces. It features a D2 tool steel blade and textured green and black G10 handles that set it apart from the standard 154CM 300 series.
What steel is used in the Benchmade Ball AXIS Flipper 300-1301?
The Benchmade Ball AXIS Flipper 300-1301 uses D2 tool steel, a semi-stainless steel known for excellent edge retention and toughness at a keen working edge.
How do you care for the D2 blade on the Benchmade Ball AXIS Flipper 300-1301?
Because the D2 blade on the Benchmade Ball AXIS Flipper 300-1301 has lower chromium than fully stainless steels, wipe it dry after use and apply a light coat of oil before storage to prevent spotting. In return, the 300-1301 holds its edge notably longer between sharpenings.
What is a flipper knife?
A flipper knife, like the Benchmade Ball AXIS Flipper 300-1301, has a small tab on the back of the blade that sticks out of the spine when closed. Pushing that tab deploys the blade quickly with one hand. On the 300-1301 the flipper works together with the AXIS lock for fast, ambidextrous opening.
Does the Benchmade Ball AXIS Flipper 300-1301 include LifeSharp service?
Yes. Like every Benchmade knife, the Benchmade Ball AXIS Flipper 300-1301 is backed by Benchmade's free LifeSharp service, which restores a factory edge and tunes the knife for the life of the product.
Where is the Benchmade Ball AXIS Flipper 300-1301 made?
The Benchmade Ball AXIS Flipper 300-1301 is made in the USA at Benchmade's facility in Oregon City, Oregon.
