A lot of you probably don’t know this, but I’m a lowkey knife guy. I’ve got a growing collection of folders and collectible blades that totally do more than just open packages from my online shopping addiction. And yeah, I almost always have one on me. It’s just one of those things that makes life easier, whether you’re wrenching, riding, or dealing with whatever the day throws at you.
So when NASA decided to send astronauts up on the Artemis II mission aboard the Orion spacecraft with a Benchmade Triage in their suit, yeah, that says a lot. Because suddenly this isn’t just another well-made pocket knife. This is a tool that’s been cleared for a 238,855-mile trip into space.
And that tells you everything you need to know. If it’s good enough for that, it’s probably overkill for your next trail ride or weekend off-road run. Which honestly makes it kinda perfect.
