Benchmade Triage 915 – N680 Rescue Folding Knife
The Benchmade Triage 915 is a purpose-built rescue folding knife that packs three tools into one AXIS lock folder: a 3.50" modified sheepsfoot blade, a hook-shaped 440C safety cutter, and a carbide glass breaker. Tested by some of the world's foremost rescue experts, the Triage earned a loyal following among firefighters, EMTs, law enforcement, and everyday carriers who want a folder built for emergencies.
The satin-finished N680 blade is a nitrogen-enriched stainless steel (57-59 HRC) with outstanding corrosion resistance, opened ambidextrously on dual thumb studs. The safety hook slices seatbelts, webbing, and clothing without exposing a sharp edge to the person being freed, and the carbide tip at the pommel shatters tempered glass. Textured black G10 scales over 420J stainless steel liners and a reversible tip-up deep-carry clip complete the package.

Benchmade Triage 915 – Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Benchmade Triage 915 discontinued?
Yes. Benchmade has discontinued the original Triage 915 generation and replaced it in the current lineup with the Triage 916 and Tactical Triage 917. Remaining examples of the Benchmade Triage 915 are increasingly sought after by rescue knife fans.
What makes the Benchmade Triage 915 a rescue knife?
A rescue knife pairs a cutting blade with dedicated emergency tools. The Benchmade Triage 915 combines its sheepsfoot blade with a hook-shaped 440C safety cutter that slices seatbelts and webbing away from skin, plus a carbide glass breaker for tempered auto glass, making it a favorite rescue knife with a glass breaker among firefighters and EMTs.
Is N680 good knife steel?
Yes. N680 is a nitrogen-enriched stainless steel with excellent corrosion resistance, exactly what the Benchmade Triage 915 needs in wet, sweaty, or marine rescue environments. At 57-59 HRC it holds a working edge and resharpens easily.
How does the AXIS lock on the Benchmade Triage 915 work?
A spring-loaded steel bar rides in slots in both liners and snaps over the blade tang when the knife opens. The AXIS lock on the Benchmade Triage 915 is fully ambidextrous and lets you close the blade without putting fingers in its path, a real benefit when working in gloves.
Does Benchmade still sharpen the Triage 915 for free?
Yes. Benchmade's LifeSharp service covers the Benchmade Triage 915 for life: send it in and Benchmade will clean, oil, adjust, and factory resharpen it at no charge.
