Benchmade Triage Opposing-Bevel Rescue Knife

The Benchmade Triage Opposing-Bevel Rescue Knife (Benchmade part no. 916SBK) is a manual folding rescue knife from Benchmade, designed and built in the USA around an Austrian N680 blade steel. It carries all the core features of the original Triage with one added safety-utility upgrade: an opposing-bevel, blunt-tip blade that lets first responders cut through clothing, seatbelts, or webbing near a patient without risking an accidental puncture. Opening is fully manual, controlled by Benchmade’s AXIS locking mechanism, making it a dependable everyday tool for EMS, fire, and rescue work.

Key Specifications

• The blade is Austrian N680 steel, a corrosion-resistant stainless known for holding an edge through repeated field use.
• The blade features an opposing-bevel, blunt tip, letting the edge cut close to skin or a patient’s body without a piercing point.
• Opening and closing rely on Benchmade’s AXIS lock, a manual, ambidextrous mechanism that keeps the blade secure until the user releases it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the blunt tip for? The opposing-bevel blunt tip lets rescue and medical personnel cut fabric or webbing near a patient’s skin with reduced risk of an accidental puncture.
