{"product_id":"benchmade-315-successor-slipjoint-m390-crater-blue","title":"Benchmade 315 Successor Slipjoint Pocket Knife — M390 Satin, Crater Blue Aluminum Handle","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe pocket knife is one of the oldest tools in human history. The Benchmade 315 Successor asks what it looks like when you build one with no compromises. The answer is a slim, 2.28 oz slipjoint folder that carries like a gentleman's knife, cuts like a premium EDC tool, and uses steel that most folding knives twice the price can't match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe 2.56\" drop point blade is M390 stainless steel, hardened to 58–61 HRC and finished with a satin polish. M390 is a powdered metallurgy super steel from Böhler-Uddeholm — renowned in the knife world for combining outstanding edge retention, exceptional corrosion resistance, and good toughness in a package that takes a razor edge and holds it. Benchmade further sharpens it to their 14° SelectEdge geometry, a factory edge angle that dramatically reduces cutting effort on push cuts and slicing tasks compared to the standard 20° bevels found on most production knives. A minimalist nail nick keeps the blade clean and uncluttered — no thumb hole, no thumb stud, no aggressive texturing — just a traditional opener that fits the character of the knife perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe handle pairs Crater Blue anodized 6061-T6 aluminum scales with an Ash Gray aluminum bolster — a two-tone color combination that gives the Successor a distinctly modern aesthetic while nodding to the classic gentleman's pen knife tradition. At 0.432\" thick, this handle is genuinely slim, and the 3.7\" closed length means it disappears into a front pocket without bulk or fuss. The slipjoint mechanism features a solid detent with a tactile, satisfying half-stop — the traditional \"walk and talk\" that generations of pocket knife users have carried as a feature, not a bug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe included black leather sheath with removable pocket clip gives you four distinct carry options: clip on the sheath, clip on the knife, or either configuration without the clip. It's a carry system that adapts to how you live. Proudly made in the USA and backed by Benchmade's LifeSharp service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eModel: 315\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBlade Length: 2.56\" (6.50 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBlade Thickness: 0.09\" (2.3 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHandle Length (Closed): 3.7\" (9.40 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHandle Thickness: 0.432\" (10.97 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eOverall Length (Open): 6.26\" (15.90 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBlade Steel: M390 Stainless Steel (58–61 HRC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBlade Style: Drop Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBlade Finish: Satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eEdge Geometry: 14° SelectEdge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBlade Edge: Plain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eOpener: Nail Nick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eLock Type: Non-Locking Slipjoint with Half Stop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHandle Material: Crater Blue Anodized 6061-T6 Aluminum with Ash Gray Aluminum Bolster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePocket Clip: Removable, Tip-Up (attaches to knife or sheath)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSheath: Black Leather with Removable Clip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eWeight: 2.28 oz (64.57 g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSTORE INFO\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eIn Stock \u0026amp; Ready to Ship from ClassicBlades.
