The PSK® Family: Field-Ready Survival Folders

Engineered for extreme environments, the Benchmade PSK® (Personal Survival Knife) is a hard-core workhorse designed to bridge the gap between a pocket folding knife and a fixed blade. Built for those who require a reliable tool for heavy-duty backcountry tasks, this hybrid folder utilizes premium survival steels like CPM-MagnaCut and ELMAX® for maximum toughness and corrosion resistance. Each model is equipped with a dedicated 90° striking choil for efficient fire-starting with a ferro rod and an AXIS® Assist mechanism, ensuring rapid, reliable deployment even when wearing gloves or operating in cold climates.

Reliable and Ready for Any Task

The PSK® Family is designed for high-performance, whether you're out in the backcountry, on a hunting expedition, or handling survival tasks. Its structural lateral strength ensures it can withstand the stresses of cutting, prying, and twisting. The palm-filling handle provides comfort and control, essential for high-torque use in survival scenarios.

The PSK® Carbon Fiber & G10 leverages premium carbon fiber bolsters and a CPM-MagnaCut blade to offer the most lightweight carry in the family, providing a high-performance survival tool that doesn't weigh down your pack. For those who prioritize extreme edge retention, the PSK® Gray Grivory® is the only model in the lineup utilizing ELMAX® stainless powder steel, paired with a durable, all-weather handle designed for long-term field use without frequent sharpening. Rounding out the family, the PSK® Gray & OD Green G10 represents the classic hard-use configuration; it combines a full-texture G10 handle for maximum tactile grip with an ultra-tough, corrosion-resistant CPM-MagnaCut blade, built specifically for those who demand total control and reliability in wet or muddy conditions.
