Benchmade, a very well-known US-based knife manufacturer, offers a huge number of products that all make for a great pocket knife. From fixed blades, to automatics, to their signature AXIS-lock manuals, Benchmade’s growing list of options continues to impress. Us at SRKT agree that Benchmade has one of the biggest selection of solid everyday carry’s. If you find yourself using your blade multiple times throughout the day, and don’t have a Benchmade yet, you should certainly try one out, as they make a model for everybody.

An incredible popular AXIS assisted knife by Benchmade, the Vector has awesome ergonomics, an upgraded steel selection, a strong pocket clip, and of course features Benchmade’s signature (and enjoyable) AXIS-assist mechanism. The Vector makes as a strong and reliable tool, but doubles as a fun fidget knife due to its easy open and close action. The Vector opens with an assisted flipper action and closes with the original and reliable AXIS locking mechanism. Being so easy to use, having a dependable drop point blade with an intense compound grind, and a grippy and contoured OD green G-10 handle, the Vector 496 makes for a solid EDC. A black pocket clip, screws, and pivot round off this US-made model.
