Frequently Asked Questions
What blade steel does the Benchmade PSK 593BK-01 use?
The Benchmade PSK 593BK-01 uses CPM-MagnaCut, a premium stainless tool steel prized for its rare mix of high edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. It is an excellent choice for a survival and EDC blade that sees wet, dirty, hard-use conditions.
How does the AXIS-Assisted opening on the Benchmade PSK 593BK-01 work?
Push the thumb stud and the AXIS spring drives the blade the rest of the way open, so the Benchmade PSK 593BK-01 deploys fast and one-handed. The same ambidextrous AXIS bar unlocks the blade to close it, and the lock is strong enough for demanding tasks.
How do I sharpen the Benchmade PSK 593BK-01?
CPM-MagnaCut sharpens well on a quality stone or guided system. Every Benchmade also includes LifeSharp, Benchmade's free lifetime sharpening service, so you can send the Benchmade PSK 593BK-01 back to the factory to be professionally sharpened and re-tuned for the life of the knife.
