The Benchmade Emissary 3.5 477 is the full-size version of Benchmade's sleek assisted opening gentleman's folder. A 3.45" satin CPM-S30V modified drop point blade sits in a CNC-machined billet aluminum handle, and the AXIS-Assist mechanism with side safety snaps the blade open from the ambidextrous dual thumb studs.
An assisted opening knife uses a spring to finish opening the blade after you start it moving with the thumb stud. The Benchmade Emissary 3.5 477 uses Benchmade's AXIS-Assist mechanism with a side safety for secure carry.
Is an assisted opening knife the same as an automatic knife?
No. Unlike an automatic, the Benchmade Emissary 3.5 477 requires you to start the blade manually before the spring assists it open, so it is generally treated like a manual folder in most places. Always check your state and local laws before carrying.
Is CPM-S30V good knife steel?
Yes. The CPM-S30V in the Benchmade Emissary 3.5 477 is a premium American powder stainless steel with an excellent balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance.
Does Benchmade's LifeSharp service cover the Benchmade Emissary 3.5 477?
Yes. Benchmade's LifeSharp lifetime service will clean, oil, adjust, and re-sharpen the Benchmade Emissary 3.5 477 for the life of the knife.
Where is the Benchmade Emissary 3.5 477 made?
