{"product_id":"benchmade-318-proper-slipjoint","title":"Benchmade 318 Proper Slipjoint Folding Knife","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA landmark knife in Benchmade's history, the 318 Proper is the first-ever slipjoint made by the legendary American manufacturer — and it's a masterclass in refined simplicity. Blending classic gentleman's knife tradition with Benchmade's uncompromising standards for materials and craftsmanship, the Proper is the ideal everyday carry for those who appreciate understated elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe 2.82\" clip-point blade is crafted from CPM-S30V stainless steel (58-60 HRC) with a satin finish, delivering exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance in a slim, traditional package. The blade deploys smoothly via a classic nail nick and is held open by a strong backspring slip-joint mechanism — no locking mechanism means it's legal to carry in many places where locking folders are restricted. A stop-pin prevents the spring from closing unexpectedly for added safety and confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe canvas Micarta handle scales are both beautiful and functional, offering a secure, comfortable grip that only improves with use. Skeletonized stainless steel liners keep weight to a minimum at just 2.28 oz, while the lanyard hole at the butt of the handle provides a convenient way to keep the knife accessible without a pocket clip. Proudly made in the USA and backed by Benchmade's LifeSharp lifetime sharpening service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\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\"\u003eBlade Length: 2.82\" (7.16 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBlade Thickness: 0.09\" (2.29 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eOpen Length: 6.65\" (16.89 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eClosed Length: 3.85\" (9.78 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBlade Steel: CPM-S30V Stainless Steel (58-60 HRC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBlade Style: Clip-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\"\u003eBlade Edge: Plain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHandle Material: Canvas Micarta\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHandle Thickness: 0.40\" (10.16 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eLocking Mechanism: Slip-Joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePocket Clip: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eLanyard Hole: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eWeight: 2.28 oz (64.64 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","brand":"Benchmade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47156311425308,"sku":"KBM318","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/0645\/7372\/files\/318Proper.jpg?v=1778512347","url":"https:\/\/classicblades.com\/products\/benchmade-318-proper-slipjoint","provider":"ClassicBlades","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
