Built for Those Who Run Toward the Emergency
The Benchmade Tactical Triage 917SBK is purpose-built for first responders, military personnel, law enforcement officers, firefighters, and prepared civilians who need more than just a knife. Combining a CPM-S30V partially serrated blade, a folding safety hook, and a carbide glass breaker, the Tactical Triage is a complete emergency response tool designed to perform when seconds matter.
Proudly Made in the USA, the 917SBK upgrades the original Triage platform with premium CPM-S30V steel, contoured Black G10 handle scales, and Benchmade’s legendary AXIS® Lock for smooth, ambidextrous operation.

Premium CPM-S30V Rescue Blade
The 3.48-inch drop point blade is crafted from CPM-S30V stainless steel, offering exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness for demanding field use.
The black Cerakote® finish minimizes glare while increasing corrosion resistance, and the partially serrated edge excels at cutting rope, webbing, seatbelts, and other tough materials.

Three Essential Rescue Tools in One
The Tactical Triage is more than a folding knife. It integrates three critical emergency tools into one compact platform.
Rescue Features
- ⚙️ AXIS® Lock manual deployment
- 🚑 Folding safety hook/strap cutter
- 🔨 Carbide glass breaker
- 🖐 Fully ambidextrous operation
The folding rescue hook quickly cuts seat belts, harnesses, and heavy webbing without exposing the primary blade, while the carbide glass breaker is designed to shatter tempered automotive glass during emergency extractions.

Contoured Black G10 Handle
The Black G10 handle scales provide outstanding grip in wet, dry, or gloved conditions.
Nested stainless steel liners increase strength while maintaining excellent ergonomics, and the reversible deep-carry pocket clip allows comfortable left- or right-hand tip-up carry.

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.'
