REVIEW HIGHLIGHTS
5.0 star rating
"Awesome blade, great looks, fits the hand well, and the assisted-flipper is the icing on the cake...."
Eric V.
5.0 star rating
As expected, but better. Enjoyed
As expected, but better. Enjoyed the assist on my beloved mini Barrage so wanted the feature but with a larger blade. Was uncertain how I'd like the flipper design and holy smokes it is perfect. Awesome blade, great looks, fits the hand well, and the assisted-flipper is the icing on the cake. Why'd I wait so long.

MEET THE VECTOR®
Designed with purpose and built to last, the Vector® sets a high bar for durability and performance matched only by our promise that it will be yours, for life.
HOW IT'S MADE
Every Benchmade knife begins with high-grade steel, laser-cut for precision and strength. Each blade is meticulously ground, beveled, and finished to exacting standards, ensuring exceptional performance and durability. Our handles are milled and machined in-house to the tightest tolerances, then hand-assembled and sharpened by expert technicians. With over thirty years of manufacturing excellence behind every edge, our knives are proudly crafted in our state-of-the-art facility in Oregon City, Oregon.
USE & CARE
Proper care and regular maintenance help make your Benchmade knife yours, for life. Here are some tips for keeping your Benchmade in peak condition:
• Prevent Rust: All steels, regardless of grade or price, can eventually rust. To avoid corrosion, always keep your knife clean, dry, and lightly lubricated. If rust or spotting appears, a quality semi-chrome metal polish can usually restore the finish.
• Hand-Wash Only: Always hand-wash your knife with warm water and mild dish soap, then dry thoroughly.
• Use as Intended: Benchmade knives are precision cutting tools. Do not use your knife as a pry-bar, screwdriver, chisel, or punch—unless specifically designed for those functions.
• Sharpen with Care: If sharpening at home, avoid grinding wheels and high-speed machinery, as they can damage the blade. Use appropriate hand-sharpening methods for best results.
• Tighten Hardware: Over time, handle, pivot, and pocket clip screws may loosen. Use T6 and T10 Torx drivers for adjustments and apply a small amount of releasable thread-locker to maintain secure fittings.
BLADE STYLE
SPEAR-POINT
Known for its symmetrical shape and strong tip designed for piercing performance. Traditionally, spear-points are double-sided, but those knives are more specifically referred to as daggers.
BLADE STEEL
CPM-S30V STAINLESS STEEL (58-60HRC)
First-of-its-kind steel designed specifically for use in knife blades. An excellent balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and durability for a variety of applications.
HANDLE
G10
Multiple layers of resin-laminated fiberglass make G10 incredibly durable, rigid, and resistant to the elements.
OPENING ACTION
AXIS® Assist With Integrated Safety
Assisted opening knives have a spring that encourages the blade into the open position once the user pushes the blade manually beyond a certain point.

\ Blade Steel 101 \ Understanding the Steel Behind the Edge\ \ From ancient alchemical experiments to modern powder metallurgy, knife steels have evolved into a highly specialized blend of science and craft. Every blade steel is engineered with a balance of properties—edge retention, toughness, corrosion resistance, and strength—that determine how a knife performs in the real world. Understanding these fundamentals helps demystify the markings on your blade and empowers you to choose the right steel for how you live, work, and carry.](/content/blogs/beyond-the-bench/blade-steel-101/index.html)
\ What’s Your Next Benchmade? \ Find the Knife That Fits Your Life\ \ Choosing the right knife starts with understanding how you’ll use it.

I am hesitant to write
I am hesitant to write an honest review of my Vector. I carried a Benchmade auto opener for 35 years…. blade broke and couldn’t be repaired or replaced. I was offered a discount equal to what the original knife cost…. seemed great at first, but unfortunately, the cost of a close replacement was almo...

Benchmade Vector
This is the second Vector I have purchased, the first via AG Russell. The knife is my safety and security companion when traveling about. I lost the first Vector and hope someone worthy found it. Blade holds a very good edge, the package fits well and responds promptly when required.

Best EDC I own
This is my fifth Benchmade in my collection and it is impossible to choose my EDC. However, since I got this Vector, it sits next to my keys and wallet for me to grab every time I leave the house.

Best knife ever!
Without question the best EDC knife I ever owned. Don’t travel to the EU with it, or you won’t be coming home with it. Extremely sharp. Fits your hand well. Assisted opening is amazing! And its profile in the pocket with the pocket clip makes it hardly noticeable. Seriously. Without question, absol...
