Benchmade PSK Gray/OD Green: Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about the Benchmade PSK Gray & OD Green G-10 (593BK).
What is the Benchmade PSK 593BK?＋
The Benchmade PSK (Personal Survival Knife 593BK) is a 3.45-inch spring-assisted drop point folding knife featuring CPM-MagnaCut powder-metallurgy stainless steel, Gray and OD Green G-10 composite handle scales, and Benchmade's AXIS Assist deployment and lock mechanism.
Is AXIS Assist classified as an automatic knife?＋
No. AXIS Assist deploys the blade via a spring-assisted thumb stud rather than a button trigger, so it is not classified as an automatic knife in most jurisdictions where traditional automatics are restricted.
What steel is used for the Benchmade 593BK?＋
The 593BK features CPM-MagnaCut powder-metallurgy stainless steel hardened to 60–62 HRC with a Black DLC coating, providing an exceptional balance of high toughness, edge retention, and extreme corrosion resistance.
How does the AXIS Lock work on the PSK?＋
Once deployed via the assisted thumb stud, the AXIS Lock engages a hardened steel crossbar over the blade tang for rock-solid lockup, allowing easy one-handed closing from either side.
Where is the Benchmade 593BK made, and what warranty covers it?＋
The Benchmade PSK is proudly made in Oregon City, Oregon, USA. Benchmade covers the knife with a Limited Lifetime Warranty and free LifeSharp lifetime tuning and sharpening service. Knifeworks does not warranty this product independently.
