Best Knife I've ever owned. Love the all black look. Super sharp and holds an edge great. The cerakote on the blade is very durable.

I love the Triage Tactical, great knife, carry it often. But, it can feel sweaty/slippery from the heat in the desert sometimes. After holding the AFO II, it feels much better in the hand than the triage tactical and feels much less likely to slip. Really wanting to get an Auto Triage but I've heard the auto triage G10 inlay can tear up the inside of your pocket. Also wish they would've kept the same blade shape and clip on the auto triage to be what they have on the manual tactical version. If Benchmade made the auto triage have the same blade shape as the triage tactical, the same clip as the manual triage tactical, and have the handle design/material of the AFO II (whatever it is that makes it feel more grippy without feeling like it'll tear up my pocket) I'd buy one immediately even if it was $435+. It's like they're sooo close to the perfect knife.

Bought this knife for my husband as a father's day gift. He bought the same ones for all of his groomsmen as gifts for our wedding but couldn't justify getting one for him self! The look on his face is going to be priceless, we have always been big fans of Benchmade for the quality and durability of the products. Love this product!

I bough this product again because it was so good. I have it in the car for emergencies. My previous version was orange and I am sad the orange one was taken out of production.

Best knife I've ever got. I'm a repeat customer and this is by far my favorite. Active law enforcement officer. Favorite part of my setup.

I like this knife enough that I've bought it three times. The first one got stolen, and the second one was (to make a longer story short) destroyed. Benchmade support (shoutout to Rick) helped me out with buying and customizing the third one. God willing, I will not have to buy a fourth! Trying to save for a fixed blade SOCP, after all.

The knife lacks a locking seat belt hook. This knife in an automatic would perform much smoother in one hand use as a defense and web cutter in confined area such as in a crashed car. Belly under or over to cut a person out.

Great knife with solid durability and design. Both the blade and cutter are incredibly sharp and open/close smoothly. I owned this knife for everyday work use for years but after losing it I immediately bought a replacement.

This is my 5th Benchmade knife. I guess this makes me a collector. All are great knifes. I've been EDCing my newest purchase. It's well balanced, and fits my hand perfectly.

I wanted to add this to my EDC collection, realizing I would probably never use several of the knives I have on a regular basis. I have an older version of this same knife and knew I would likely use it at work and home very often.

I bought this as a daily knife. It is a little heavy, but overall a great knife. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Police Officer for 33 years now. Always carried at least 1 Benchmade knife on me at all times. It was time for a new one. This 1 checks off everything for me. Good sharp dependable blade. Plus I like the seatbelt cutter and glass breaker feature as well. If you are in Public safety in any capacity, I highly recommend this blade. 5 Stars.

Bought as a gift for my best friend. She loves it, loves the weight and feel, loves the look. Got a custom engraved image and it came out perfectly. No downsides, it's awesome.

Purchased these as gifts for three different LEO's. Added a laser engraving of their service logo and their badge number. The first one I was told they use it "every day, always handy for something" including duty related functions. The grip and features are excellent, including being able to easily swap the clip side. In this case I also swapped the thumbstud for GlowRhino/Flytanium tritium studs for fun.

Benchmade only sells like two knives that meet the two things i want for edc, the glass breaker and the half serration, but i gotta say, this is exactly what i was looking for. It's very well designed and i hope it lasts me the rest of my life, but we'll see

I'll start out by saying, the 917 SBK-Tactical Triage was the Second Benchmade Knife I purchased in a 6 to 7 hour window. The first, was the 720 Pardue Axis Lock, I then visited your websight and bought the 917 SBK so I'm very new to the Benchmade family and carry both daily. Both knives really stood out to me, and to have the option to personalize the SBK, the Black Blade, the seat belt cutter and Window breaker made it a no brainer for me. The 720 Pardue Axis Lock jumped out to me from a case of nearly 90 Benchmade knives as I really like blades with Serations and I'm very pleased with both. I took both to my local knife shop to ask their opinions of the knives, they said for a person (no disrespect) who doesn't have a real knowledge of knives, I made two GREAT choices with these, and that the blade steel and sharpness right out of the box was incredible. (And no worries, I'll be returning both to Benchmade when they need attention) Great job guys/gals!

I'm a first responder and plan to carry this knife everyday. Classic design and well made. This is my second Benchmade knife. I was impressed with the sharpness longevity of their fillet knife. Will continue to add to my collection.

I've played with multiple crossbar locks before but this is the first one I actually enjoy. The fit and finish is perfect. No blade play. The action feels like it's on bearings, very impressive for only being washers. I was issued the Benchmade Triage 916 over a decade ago from the army. I like that one but was never impressed by n680 steel nor the blunt tip, plus the scales were a little too rough going in and out of my pocket. This 917 however has fixed all of my previous complaints. S30V blade holds a very respectable edge. The g10 scales offer enough grip but have been smoothed out making this secure yet glides in and out of pocket with ease. As a bonus I contacted benchmade about the hook. I assumed it would have been made from cheaper 420 or 440A steel but was very pleasantly surprised when they informed me it's made from 440C. The only potential complaint is that the knife is slightly on the heavy side, though that was expected. From rescue to tactical to even hunting use, don't overlook this one as a potential candidate. I truly believe that this is a "do all" knife!

Benchmade quality, solid feel, incredible blade, integrated seat belt cutter and glass breaker. This is a fantastic knife to carry in the center console.

This is the most impressive knife that I have ever owned. In every way it is a pleasure to use, easy to open and close and the sharpness is second to none. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to own a first grade knife!

Perfect everyday carry. Not the lightest ,but for the strength. I can deal with a little extra weight, but it's not heavy by any standards.

I bought this for work as a firefighter/EMT and it still hasn't let me down 7 years later. This little knife has lived its dream life cutting and slicing and prying everything in its path. Only once have I destroyed it enough to be sent back to Benchmade for a tune up and that process was a dream as well. This company truly does take pride in their product and it shows through all the life stages.

Amazing EDC knife I love how it comes with a seatbelt cutter safety hook which is very appropriate for my work and still has a blade for piercing and cutting through stuff. Has everything you could possibly need all in one pocket knife! Has partial serrations for cutting through tough straps that I need to cut through at work, has a plain edge for my every day cutting tasks and the seatbelt cutter if I am using it on the floor, which is more appropriate. Has nice smooth handle scales and even has a glass breaker in case of an emergency. This is a great all-around knife for every day, emergency and in any situation really. Absolutely love it! Thank you benchmade, and crew!!
