Federal regulations (see below) restrict the sale of automatic knives to anyone other than Military, Federal Law Enforcement, Law Enforcement, Fire, Rescue and EMT personnel with proof of photo identification or an email from Military/Government address. There are exceptions for those that live in the state of *Oregon.

You can register for Restricted Knives with this website if you are Military or Law Enforcement personnel. Benchmade requires that you resubmit your ID every one hundred eighty (180) days, or where applicable. The submission of your ID for approval is not related to the registration with this website and does not affect non-restricted product online purchases.

*If you live in the state of Oregon, please email info@benchmade.com and attach a digital photo or scanned image of your Oregon Driver License for review and approval of restricted purchases online. To follow Benchmade Policy, the knife will only be shipped to an Oregon address upon the processing of an approved Oregon resident web order. Please note that Oregon residents can register as a Standard Registration and not a Military/Law Enforcement new member.

Thank you for choosing Benchmade.
