Product Description

The Benchmade PSK puts premium powder-metallurgy steel in a practical assisted-opening platform — a 3.45-inch drop point that deploys with spring-assisted speed but skips the legal and carry restrictions of a true automatic.

Ground from Elmax powder-metallurgy stainless with a finer grain structure than CPM-S35VN, the blade takes a very keen initial edge from the factory, holds it through daily cutting use, and sharpens easily on a ceramic rod — practical premium performance without the sharpening demands of M390 or CPM-S90V. AXIS Assist deploys the blade via thumb stud with spring assistance and closes one-handed from either side with the standard AXIS Lock bilateral mechanism, and this isn't classified as an automatic in most jurisdictions.

Blade: Elmax powder-metallurgy stainless, satin drop point, hollow grind — keen initial edge, good retention, easier to maintain than M390 or CPM-S90V
Handle: Storm gray Grivory (glass-filled nylon) — lightweight, moisture-resistant, rigid
Deployment/Lock: AXIS Assist thumb stud deployment with AXIS Lock bilateral close — faster than manual, legal where automatics are restricted
Carry: 3.95 oz, tip-up reversible clip

EDC carriers who want spring-assisted speed without automatic-knife restrictions. Buyers who want a premium steel that's easier to maintain than M390 or CPM-S90V. Anyone who wants a lightweight, moisture-resistant handle for daily hard use.

Benchmade PSK Storm Gray Grivory: Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions about the 593GY-02.

What is the Benchmade PSK?＋

The 593GY-02 is a 3.45-inch spring-assisted drop point folding knife, built to deliver premium steel and fast deployment without the legal restrictions that apply to true automatic knives.

What steel is it made from, and why does it matter?＋

The blade is Elmax powder-metallurgy stainless steel, which takes a very keen initial edge, holds it through daily cutting use, and sharpens easily on a ceramic rod — practical premium performance without the sharpening demands of M390 or CPM-S90V.

Is AXIS Assist the same as an automatic knife?＋

No — AXIS Assist deploys the blade via a spring-assisted thumb stud, not a trigger mechanism, so it's not classified as an automatic in most jurisdictions where traditional automatics are restricted.

How does the AXIS Lock work?＋

Once deployed, the PSK closes one-handed from either side using Benchmade's standard AXIS Lock bilateral mechanism, rated beyond typical liner lock strength.

What makes the handle distinctive?＋

The handle uses storm gray Grivory, a glass-filled nylon that's lightweight, moisture-resistant, and rigid for a durable everyday carry platform.

What are the full specs on the 593GY-02?＋

Overall length 7.87", closed length 4.42", blade length 3.45", blade thickness 0.11", weight 3.95 oz. AXIS Assist folder with a hollow-ground drop point blade in Elmax stainless (59-61 HRC), satin finish, storm gray Grivory handle, tip-up reversible pocket clip.
