Benchmade Lone Wolf Landslide 40022-100 – N680 Lockback Folder
The Benchmade Lone Wolf Landslide 40022-100 is the full-size Landslide, an outdoor lockback built around rust resistance rather than raw edge retention. Its 3.50" N680 blade shrugs off wet and salt exposure, and the linerless molded FRN handle with 3D topographic texturing keeps the knife to 3.20 oz despite an 8.05" open length. The orange handle was chosen so a dropped knife is easy to find in leaves or snow. This model is discontinued.
Buyers looking at the Benchmade Lone Wolf Landslide 40022-100 are usually comparing lockback knives and lightweight outdoor folding knives.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a lockback knife?
A lockback runs a spring-loaded rocker bar through the spine of the handle; it drops into a notch in the blade tang when the blade opens. The Benchmade Lone Wolf Landslide 40022-100 releases from a cutout in the middle of the spine, so your hand stays behind the blade while you close it.
How do you close the Benchmade Lone Wolf Landslide 40022-100?
Push down on the exposed rocker bar in the spine to lift the lock clear of the blade tang, then fold the blade shut with your other hand. Keep your fingers out of the blade channel of the Benchmade Lone Wolf Landslide 40022-100 while the lock is held down.
Is N680 good knife steel?
N680 is nitrogen-alloyed stainless with very high corrosion resistance, which is why Benchmade used it on wet-environment knives like the Benchmade Lone Wolf Landslide 40022-100. It is easy to sharpen and forgiving if the knife gets stored damp, at the cost of some edge retention versus a premium powder steel.
Why is the Benchmade Lone Wolf Landslide 40022-100 handle orange?
The Landslide series was sold in high-visibility colors, orange among them, so a knife set down on the ground or dropped in cover is easy to spot. The molded FRN handle on the Benchmade Lone Wolf Landslide 40022-100 also carries a 3D topographic texture for grip in wet hands.
Where was the Benchmade Lone Wolf Landslide 40022-100 made?
Benchmade manufactures in Oregon City, Oregon, and the Benchmade Lone Wolf Landslide 40022-100 was marketed as USA built. The Lone Wolf line as a whole mixed USA-built and imported models, so origin is marked on each individual knife.
Does the Benchmade Lone Wolf Landslide 40022-100 qualify for LifeSharp?
LifeSharp is Benchmade's factory sharpening and inspection service. The Benchmade Lone Wolf Landslide 40022-100 is a discontinued Lone Wolf branded model, and legacy coverage is handled case by case, so confirm with Benchmade before sending one in.
