Casbah

The Casbah provides the trust and reassurance you need on a daily basis. Built as Benchmade's purpose-driven EDC automatic, it delivers the fast-deploying one-handed response of a push-button auto in a format that disappears in a pocket — the right combination for a folder that lives in your rotation rather than your safe. The drop-point blade geometry handles the everyday cutting tasks of daily life with the same confidence as any of Benchmade's manual folders, while the synthetic handle scales keep the weight in check without sacrificing the in-hand feel. The push-button automatic mechanism deploys with a deliberate, decisive action and the integrated safety prevents accidental deployment during carry. At 3.43 ounces with a deep-carry pocket clip, the Casbah rides low and discreetly in the pocket — present when needed, invisible when not. Made in Benchmade's Oregon City facility and backed by the LifeSharp lifetime service program.

EDC Automatic Knife
Benchmade's EDC automatic folder — purpose-built for daily carry rather than tactical or military use. Provides the trust and reassurance you need on a daily basis, with the fast response of an automatic in a format that lives in your rotation.
Push-Button Automatic Mechanism
Fast-deploying push-button automatic deployment delivers the blade with a decisive one-handed action — the kind of rapid response that defines an automatic. Designed for the moments that demand instant deployment.
Integrated Safety
Integrated safety prevents accidental deployment during carry — the deliberate two-step action required for firing protects against unintended opening. The kind of safety-conscious design that defines a carryable automatic.
Drop-Point Blade
3.4" drop-point profile balances tip control and belly for the everyday cutting tasks of daily life — boxes, packaging, letters, food prep, and general utility. The versatile workhorse geometry that handles whatever the day brings.
Synthetic Handle Scales
Lightweight synthetic handle scales deliver the in-hand feel and durability of a daily-carry folder at a weight that doesn't punish pocket carry. Different from the metal chassis of other Benchmade automatics — the Casbah's synthetic construction keeps weight down without sacrificing performance.
Deep-Carry Pocket Clip
Reversible deep-carry clip rides the knife low and discreetly in the pocket — the kind of carry that keeps the automatic mechanism close to hand without announcing itself. Removable for left- or right-handed configuration.
Substantial Pocket Profile
Handle thickness of 0.59" provides confident in-hand grip for the automatic deployment action. Substantial enough to give the push-button a solid platform, slim enough to disappear in a pocket.
Made in USA
Manufactured at Benchmade's Oregon City, Oregon facility. American-made quality with rigorous tolerances and tight QC.
LifeSharp Lifetime Service

Cleaning
Wipe the blade and handle with a soft, dry cloth after each use. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly — especially the automatic mechanism internals, push-button area, and safety interface. Keep the push-button area free of debris that could affect mechanism function.
Automatic Mechanism Lubrication
Apply a small drop of light machine oil or knife-specific lubricant (such as Benchmade's BlueLube) to the automatic mechanism internals every few months — or after cleaning. More frequent lubrication helps maintain consistent deployment speed and reliable firing action over the life of the knife. Cycle the mechanism several times after lubrication to distribute the oil.
Sharpening
The Casbah is covered by Benchmade's LifeSharp program: free lifetime professional sharpening, cleaning, oiling, and re-calibration. Send or visit any authorized Benchmade dealer. For home maintenance, use quality diamond or ceramic stones at the manufacturer's recommended angle; the drop-point blade sharpens easily with standard guided systems.
Safety Check
Periodically verify that the integrated safety is functioning properly — the safety should prevent the blade from deploying unless deliberately disengaged. If the safety ever fails to engage or release properly, send the knife in for service before relying on it for carry or use. The safety is what separates a carryable automatic from a dangerous tool.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry environment. The Casbah ships with a reversible deep-carry clip — remove the clip before long-term storage if you want to preserve spring tension. Avoid leather sheaths for long-term storage in humid climates (leather retains moisture).
Legal Considerations
Automatic knives are subject to varying federal, state, and local laws. Federal law restricts interstate shipment of automatic knives except for specific categories (military, law enforcement, etc.). State and local laws vary widely — verify your local regulations before purchase or carry. Customers are responsible for understanding and complying with all applicable laws in their jurisdiction.
