WHO WE ARE

We can't let a good thing rest. It's in our American DNA to look ahead and see the promise of what could be. As a family-owned, American business, we never quit striving for more. More innovatione, more value. That's why more than thirty years later, we're still the only quality knife company making tools that are yours, for life.

One Knife. One Lifetime. One Factory.

It started in 1979. Les de Asis, a Filipino-American with a passion for butterfly knives, was hand-building quality blades in a small California machine shop. He moved the company to Oregon City in 1990—the heart of American knife making—to be closer to skilled craftsmen and better materials.

Today, that 144,000-square-foot factory outside Portland is still home. Every knife is assembled by hand, right here in the USA, using premium American steels. Benchmade was the first to use laser cutters in knife making, and they still hold to aerospace tolerances.

The philosophy is simple: build it right, make it last. That's why they offer LifeSharp service—free cleaning, sharpening, and adjustments for life. You buy it once, they take care of it forever.
