Benchmade 4045BK-01 True Paring Knife — CPM-154 Black DLC, OD Green G10 Handle

Built for the details that define great prep, the Benchmade 4045BK-01 True Paring Knife brings chef-level finesse to wherever meals come together — from backyard BBQs to campsite cutting boards. Compact, controlled, and purpose-driven, this is a small blade that performs with outsized confidence.

The 4.12" clip-point blade is crafted from CPM-154 stainless steel (58-61 HRC) with an acute tip geometry designed for precision work — coring tomatoes, peeling potatoes, segmenting citrus, and any task where accuracy matters more than brute force. The black Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) finish enhances durability and corrosion resistance while giving the blade a clean, stealthy aesthetic. Benchmade's SelectEdge technology ensures razor-sharp, consistent cuts right out of the box and through extended use.

The OD Green G10 handle with black G10 bolsters provides a secure, ergonomic grip in wet or dry conditions, with enough control for extended prep sessions without fatigue. At just 2.33 oz, the True Paring Knife is light enough to forget it's there — until you need it. Proudly made in the USA and backed by Benchmade's LifeSharp lifetime sharpening service.
