Frequently Asked Questions
What is a sheepsfoot blade? A sheepsfoot blade like the one on the Benchmade 319-2 Proper has a straight cutting edge with a spine that curves down to meet it, giving a rounded, low-pierce tip. It excels at safe, controlled slicing and push cuts, which makes the Benchmade 319-2 Proper a great choice for everyday utility tasks.
What is a slip-joint knife? A slip-joint like the Benchmade 319-2 Proper uses a backspring to hold the blade open under tension without a mechanical lock, so you close it by simply folding the blade back into the handle.
