Benchmade True Paring Knife Maple Valley Richlite
"Core fruit, peel potatoes, and pare like a pro with the 4045-02 True Paring Knife. Designed for detailed tasks, from the backyard BBQ to the campsite cutting board, the 4045-02 features an acute clip-point blade in CPM-154 stainless steel with a stonewash finish, a Maple Valley Richlite handle scales with ergonomics that provide an excellent mix of control and comfort. Sharpened with our proprietary SelectEdge® technology, the True Paring Knife offers chef-level finesse in every outdoor cooking scenario. Over time, Richlite®, a paper composite material, will develop a natural patina over time, altering the original color of the material. "Patina” is a natural occurrence in the product that can either darken or lighten depending on exposure to light."
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:
• All steel, regardless of price and grade, can eventually rust, so it’s important to keep your knife dry and lubricated. If spotting or rust occurs, semi-chrome metal polish will often take care of it.
• Dishwashers can cause serious damage that is not covered under our warranty, so make sure to hand-wash your Benchmade under warm water with dish soap only, and dry thoroughly.
• Remember, knives are cutting tools, and you should never use your knife as a pry-bar, screwdriver, chisel, or punch, unless the knife is designed explicitly for those purposes.
• If you choose to sharpen your blade yourself, avoid grinding wheels and other high-powered machinery.
