Here are some tips for keeping your Benchmade in peak condition: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e• Prevent Rust:\u003c\/b\u003e  All steels, regardless of grade or price, can eventually rust. To avoid corrosion, always keep your knife clean, dry, and lightly lubricated. If rust or spotting appears, a quality semi-chrome metal polish can usually restore the finish. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e• Hand-Wash Only:\u003c\/b\u003e  Always hand-wash your knife with warm water and mild dish soap, then dry thoroughly. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e• Use as Intended:\u003c\/b\u003e  Benchmade knives are precision cutting tools. Do not use your knife as a pry-bar, screwdriver, chisel, or punch—unless specifically designed for those functions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e• Sharpen with Care:\u003c\/b\u003e  If sharpening at home, avoid grinding wheels and high-speed machinery, as they can damage the blade. Use appropriate hand-sharpening methods for best results. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e• Tighten Hardware:\u003c\/b\u003e  Over time, handle, pivot, and pocket clip screws may loosen. Use T6 and T10 Torx drivers for adjustments and apply a small amount of releasable thread-locker to maintain secure fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Benchmade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42959760130142,"sku":"'940BK-03","price":300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0170\/8972\/4516\/files\/hvrpl0bnwjjkejayxmxr_560x_19f831d1-046e-4f6e-8b07-5098cbf216be.webp?v=1783104405","url":"https:\/\/oppalachianoutfitters.shop\/products\/benchmade-osborne-940bk-03","provider":"Appalachian Outfitters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
