Benchmade Anthem

Who Needs A Benchmade Anthem?

Benchmade has been around since 1884. But this isn't the only thing that makes them special. Their knives are made using traditional techniques and materials. And they use American steel. These things combine to create a blade that feels solid and durable. And it looks beautiful.

Well, here's a hint. Look at the price tag. But most of these prices aren't for the handle alone. They're for the entire package. Which includes the blade, sheath, and sometimes a leather case.

The best part is that you can usually upgrade the blade for free. All you have to do is send the old blade back to Benchmade. Then you get a new one in return. It's pretty awesome.

That said, I'm not saying that every Benchmade knife is worth buying. Not at any price. But if you're considering getting one, then you owe it to yourself to look closely at the specs. Here are a couple of things to think about before you pull the trigger.

Blade Steel - What type of steel is being used? Is it stainless steel? Carbon steel? Titanium? High carbon steel?

Stainless Steel Blade - Stainless steel is the strongest material. But it doesn't hold an edge very well. Carbon steel holds an edge better but it tends to rust easily. Titanium is strong, light, and corrosion resistant. However, it's expensive.

Are you planning on carrying it daily? Will you be doing a lot of cutting tasks?

The Importance Of Purchasing A Quality Benchmade Anthem

Benchmade knives have become synonymous with quality. They've built their reputation by making great products that last. Now they've taken things one step further. They've introduced the Anthem line of knives. These knives feature a unique handle design that allows them to fold up like a pocketknife. This means that they'll never leave your side. And because they fold up so small, they won't take up any space in your pocket either.

These knives come in several different models. Each model features a blade length ranging from 2.5" to 4". All of the blades are forged stainless steel and heat treated to ensure strength and durability. The handles are constructed from G10 scales that provide excellent grip even after extended use. The handles are available in black, blue, brown, gray, red, silver, white, yellow, and pink.

All of the knives in the Anthem series come with a lifetime warranty against defects.

Features To Consider When Buying A Benchmade Anthem

Blade steel. The blade steel used in the Anthem line of knives has been specially heat treated to create a durable edge that holds its sharpness longer than other steels. This means you'll spend less time honing your blade and more time enjoying your new knife.

Handle design. The Anthem handles are made from G10, which provides a comfortable grip while still being lightweight enough to carry comfortably. They feature a drop point style blade that allows you to easily push down on the handle to deploy the blade.

Lockback mechanism. The lockback mechanism makes opening and closing the blade easier than ever. Simply pull the thumbstuds apart to release the locking mechanism, then slide the blade into place.

Stainless steel pocket clip. The stainless steel pocket clip features a black oxide finish that resists corrosion and tarnishing. It also prevents rust and corrosion from forming between the blade and the pocket clip.

Lanyard hole. The Anthem series has a lanyard hole located just below the tip of the spine. This allows you to attach a lanyard to the knife if desired.

Ambidextrous thumb studs. The Anthem series comes equipped with ambidextrous thumb studs that allow you to change how you hold the knife depending on where you prefer to hold the knife.

Overall length. The overall length of the Anthem is 5 1/2 inches. That gives you plenty of room to work with and maneuver the knife through your projects.

Weight. The weight of the Anthem is 3 ounces. That's about half the weight of most full tang folders.

Made in USA. All of our knives are proudly Made in America. We only use American steel and American labor to build each knife we sell.

Benchmade is committed to producing high quality knives that stand the test of time. From their first production run in 1985 until today, they've never changed their manufacturing process. In fact, they haven't even changed their logo since 1984!

Different Types Of Benchmade Anthem

Benchmade’s Anthem line of knives was created by Tom Wengert. He wanted to create a series of knives that were affordable and could handle any task. His goal was to design a knife that was comfortable enough to use every day yet durable enough to last through years of heavy use. To accomplish his goals, he turned to the tried and true Japanese steel known as ATS-34. He chose to give the blades a traditional look and feel by adding a satin finish to the blade. He also added a black G10 handle that provides excellent grip and comfort. The result is a knife that looks good, feels good, and performs well.

The Anthem line includes three models. Each model features a slightly different style of handle. All three feature a drop point blade shape. The first two models include a clip point blade while the third model features a thumb stud opening assisted folder. The clip point version is called the “Anthem” while the thumb stud assisted folder is called the “Manual Anthem.” Both of these models feature a 3.25 inch blade length. The Manual Anthem also features a lanyard hole located behind the pocket clip. This allows users to attach a keychain or necklace to the knife.

The second model in the Anthem line is the “Anthem Classic.” This model features a 4.5 inch blade and a modified drop point blade shape. It also features a full tang construction. The classic model does not include a lanyard hole. Instead, it uses a standard pocket clip.

The final model in the Anthem line is the “Anthem Custom.” This model features a 5.5 inch blade and a modified drop point blade shape. The custom model also features a lanyard hole and a pocket clip.
