Benchmade Triage 915BK-ORG – N680 Black Blade Orange Rescue Folding Knife
The Benchmade Triage 915BK-ORG is a purpose-built rescue folding knife that packs three tools into one AXIS lock folder: a 3.50" black-coated 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 black-coated 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. High-visibility textured safety orange G10 scales over 420J stainless steel liners make the knife easy to spot in a dark cab or gear bag, and a reversible tip-up deep-carry clip completes the package.

Benchmade Triage 915BK-ORG – Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Benchmade Triage 915BK-ORG 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. The orange-handled Benchmade Triage 915BK-ORG is especially sought after by rescue professionals and collectors.
What does BK mean on the Benchmade Triage 915BK-ORG?
In Benchmade's naming convention, BK describes the blade, not the handle: the Benchmade Triage 915BK-ORG carries a black-coated N680 blade with a plain edge, while the ORG suffix denotes its safety orange G10 handle.
What makes the Benchmade Triage 915BK-ORG a rescue knife?
A rescue knife pairs a cutting blade with dedicated emergency tools. The Benchmade Triage 915BK-ORG 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 915BK-ORG 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 915BK-ORG 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 915BK-ORG is fully ambidextrous and lets you close the blade without putting fingers in its path, a real benefit when working in gloves.

Yes. Benchmade's LifeSharp service covers the Benchmade Triage 915BK-ORG for life: send it in and Benchmade will clean, oil, adjust, and factory resharpen it at no charge.
