The Benchmade P.S.K. (Personal Survival Knife) is a heavy-duty, spring-assisted folding knife built for outdoor enthusiasts who need a rugged and reliable workhorse. It features a tough CPM-MagnaCut steel blade, a fire-starting choil, and a sturdy G10 handle with an Axis-Assist locking mechanism.

Key features
CPM-MagnaCut steel: This high-performance steel is highly corrosion-resistant and has excellent edge retention. It is coated with Cerakote for an added layer of durability and corrosion protection.
Axis-Assist mechanism: The spring-assisted Axis lock allows for rapid, one-handed blade deployment, which is useful in survival situations or when manual dexterity is limited.

Integrated safety: A safety switch is built into the spine of the handle, allowing you to lock the blade securely in either the open or closed position.

Ferro rod striking choil: A dedicated section of the blade's choil is left uncoated and machined at a 90-degree angle, providing a reliable surface for striking a ferro rod to start a fire.

Durable handle: The handle is made with G10 or carbon fiber scales over full steel liners, providing a strong and solid grip. The textured and contoured design ensures a secure hold, even in wet conditions.
Ambidextrous design: Like other Benchmade Axis knives, the PSK features a reversible deep-carry pocket clip and ambidextrous thumb studs.

Designed for survival and bushcraft
The PSK is specifically marketed for camping, bushcraft, and survival scenarios where a heavy-duty folder is preferred over a fixed blade. While it functions perfectly as an everyday carry (EDC) knife, its overbuilt construction is intended for more demanding use.

Variants
The Benchmade PSK is available in different versions, which may vary in handle materials and blade finishes.

Common configurations include:
Gray and OD Green G10 handles with a gray Cerakote blade.

Black Carbon Fiber and G10 handles with a black Cerakote blade.
