Benchmade 319 Proper

The Benchmade 319 Proper is a slip joint folder that takes on a classic gentleman’s knife design. This knife does not lock so it is legal almost anywhere. This model features a comfortably contoured Green Micarta handle with a nice thin profile. The sheepsfoot style blade is made from premium CPM-S30V stainless steel with a satin finish. Skeletonized stainless steel liners offer reduced weight for pocket friendly everyday carry. A lanyard hole in the handle accommodates key ring or lanyard attachment. No pocket clip on this one – it’s meant to be in your pocket.

CPM-S30V Steel: Chris Reeve is famous for developing two steels directly with Crucible Industries, and boy did this partnership result in an awesome product. CPM-S30V is, in many eyes, the ultimate EDC steel. Exhibiting very good edge retention, corrosion resistance, and sharpenability, S30V is utilized by a variety of makers for its performance and balance. CPM-S30V has become one of the most used premium steels on the market among knife manufacturers. If you are looking for a high end stainless steel knife that will keep an edge, that will be durable, and will resist corrosion–definitely consider one made with a CPM-S30V blade.
