Frequently Asked Questions
What is a lockback knife?
A lockback places a spring-loaded rocker bar in the spine of the handle that seats into a notch in the blade tang when the blade is opened. The Benchmade Lone Wolf Tailout 40021-100 releases from a cutout partway down the spine, so your fingers never cross the blade path.
How do you close the Benchmade Lone Wolf Tailout 40021-100?
Press the exposed rocker bar in the spine to lift the lock out of the tang, then fold the blade closed with your other hand. Keep clear of the blade channel of the Benchmade Lone Wolf Tailout 40021-100 while the lock is depressed.
What is a clip point blade?
A clip point has the spine "clipped" away toward the tip, producing a finer, more controllable point than a drop point. On the Benchmade Lone Wolf Tailout 40021-100 that shape suits detail work, opening packages, and general everyday cutting.
Is 8Cr14MoV good knife steel?
8Cr14MoV is a budget-friendly Chinese stainless steel with good corrosion resistance and easy sharpening. It will not hold an edge like a premium powder steel, but on a traditional carry knife like the Benchmade Lone Wolf Tailout 40021-100 it strops back to sharp in seconds.
Where was the Benchmade Lone Wolf Tailout 40021-100 made?
Benchmade manufactures its own line in Oregon City, Oregon, but the Lone Wolf line included imported models. The Benchmade Lone Wolf Tailout 40021-100 is listed as an import rather than a USA-built knife.
Does the Benchmade Lone Wolf Tailout 40021-100 qualify for LifeSharp?
LifeSharp is Benchmade's factory sharpening and inspection service. The Benchmade Lone Wolf Tailout 40021-100 is a discontinued, imported Lone Wolf branded model, so contact Benchmade directly to confirm whether it is eligible.
