About Us
When duty calls—whether in the field, the forest, or everyday life—you choose a Benchmade knife because it delivers. Uncompromising performance, however you use it, for as long as you need it.
Built from a family’s vision, our story began with our founder, Les DeAsis. What started in a small machine shop has grown into a world-class American manufacturer, still pushing the limits of knife design and innovation. This journey, driven by the DeAsis family and carried forward by a dedicated team, is at the heart of everything we make.
We’ve spent decades refining what it means to be a reliable cutting tool. From the pocket knife you carry every day to the kitchen blade reserved for moments that matter, every Benchmade is engineered to excel. With choices in blade length, handle materials, and options for personalization, you can tailor a knife that fits your hand and your needs—backed by a level of quality meant to last a lifetime.
Your next knife shouldn’t just be a tool. It should be a Benchmade.
