Frequently Asked Questions
What blade steel does the Benchmade PSK 593GY-02 use?
The Benchmade PSK 593GY-02 runs an Elmax stainless blade, a powder-metallurgy steel with a strong balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. It holds up well as a survival and everyday carry blade.
How does the AXIS-Assisted opening on the Benchmade PSK 593GY-02 work?
Push the thumb stud and the AXIS spring drives the blade open the rest of the way, so the Benchmade PSK 593GY-02 deploys fast and one-handed. The same ambidextrous AXIS bar unlocks the blade to close it, and the lock is strong for hard use.
