Benchmark

Benchmark Knives has a long history in the American knife market. The brand originated from the company Jenkins Metals in Gastonia, North Carolina, and worked early on with the well-known knife maker and designer Blackie Collins. In the late 1970s and 1980s, Benchmark made a name for itself primarily with innovative folders and balisong models. After several changes of ownership, the brand has been relaunched time and again and today stands primarily for affordable knives with functional designs – from classic pocket knives to butterfly knives for beginners and collectors.
