Product Description

The Benchmade Successor 315BK-01 blends classic pocketknife tradition with modern premium materials, creating a sophisticated everyday carry designed for those who appreciate timeless style and exceptional craftsmanship. Featuring a non-locking slipjoint mechanism, the Successor offers refined gentleman's carry aesthetics while delivering the cutting performance expected from a premium Benchmade knife.

At the heart of the Successor is a 2.56" drop point blade crafted from premium M390 stainless steel and finished with a durable black DLC coating. Known for its outstanding edge retention, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, M390 provides exceptional cutting performance in a compact, easy-to-carry package.

The distinctive Burnt Brass anodized aluminum scales are paired with an Ash Gray aluminum bolster, creating a striking two-tone appearance that stands out from traditional EDC folders. A smooth slipjoint mechanism with a defined half-stop provides controlled opening and closing, while the minimalist nail nick maintains the knife's clean, streamlined profile.

Designed for elevated everyday carry, the Successor includes a premium black leather sheath and a removable pocket clip that can be attached to either the knife or sheath for versatile carry options. Lightweight, elegant, and undeniably functional, it's a modern interpretation of the classic gentleman's pocketknife.

About brand

Benchmade Knife Company, Inc. set-up shop in Clackamas, Oregon in 1990 (originally founded in California in 1988). The initial knives primarily consisted of the Bali-Song knives, using a combination of outside vendors and inside processing to build finished products. And like most companies, starting out meant scarce money and big plans, using second hand equipment and limited resources.

Soon, a natural born fortitude and an undying passion to make it right and make it Benchmade, prospered into significant growth. As the product line grew so did the in-house capabilities. We began to acquire new machines and technologies including the first of several lasers, making Benchmade the first knife manufacturer to have such equipment in-house. Open minds and positive attitudes would lead to several more industry firsts over the course of the next several years.

This was only the beginning of Benchmade's breaking of new ground in the manufactured knife markets by using non-traditional materials and modern manufacturing methods in not only building knives better but, inevitably building better knives. The Designer Series was first introduced in 1991 with several custom designs being manufactured. By tapping into the custom knife makers' knowledge and combining it with our manufacturing expertise we were more readily able to offer more contemporary knife designs and innovations to the knife users.

Consecutive years of aggressive growth led to the next logical step in 1996 when Benchmade moved into its own 35,000 sq. ft. facility. A contemporary styled building complete with all of the modern equipment and amenities necessary to manufacture what has become recognized as a higher standard of specialty cutlery.

Today, Benchmade Knife Company, Inc. manufactures knives for a loyal and ever growing following of knife users. As we move into the 21st century we are poised for even more exciting opportunities, innovations and ongoing total world-class quality. Here at Benchmade we employ a simple philosophy- 'Make it cool, make it solid, make it happen and definitely make it Benchmade.'
