Benchmade has been manufacturing top-notch knives and pocket knives for almost 40 years thanks, among other things, to pioneering new technologies, creating award-winning designs and using precision manufacturing to create its different models. So much so that they were chosen by NASA itself to be part of the Artemis II mission to the Moon.
Benchmade Triage: Ideal to get you out of any trouble
The model Triage It is one of the reference pocket knives. And it is no wonder, considering that it was part of the technical equipment carried by the four astronauts in charge of piloting the Orion spacecraft during the 10 days that the hectic Artemis II mission lasted.
The reason is none other than the different functions it offers, despite its small size. Also its durability and cutting power, as well as its resistance to corrosion. It is equally valid for cutting rope and fibrous materials. This is thanks to its blade with one of the saw-shaped sections. Also the flat and blunt tip that is used to leverage and/or scrape.
All these functions, extrapolated to the world of motorcycles, can be equally effective in specific moments. Especially these days when the Adventure world or motorcycle tourism is so fashionable. Countless bikers hit the road in search of adventure and sometimes they need a small tool for different tasks, whether when we are camping or because we have to perform some type of operation on our mount.
In this context, the Benchmade Triage, thanks to its N680 blade made of steel, becomes a truly interesting tool. In addition, it incorporates an ambidextrous AXIS lock, a mechanism that allows you to open and close the blade with just one hand. For its part, the side handles are resistant to temperature and contact with chemicals. It also has a folding 440C stainless steel hook to effectively cut straps, cords, fabrics or clothing without damaging the blade or injuring the user.
After learning that the brand was chosen to travel to the moon in this new NASA mission, Joe Prebichvice president of marketing at Benchmade, commented: “At Benchmade, we’ve always believed in creating premium tools that perform in any situation. It’s incredible to know that the men and women of Artemis II will have a tool they can rely on as they venture into a crucial new chapter of space exploration.”
There is no doubt that the Benchmade Triage pocket knife is a real gem, both for its use and its manufacturing quality. Of course, the model, available in three different finish variants, starts at $325, 275 euros to the current change. A price that seems somewhat excessive, although taking a look at customer reviews, it seems to be more than justified.
