Benchmark

Benchmark is an American cutlery brand with origins dating back to 1969 and the iconic Rolex knife designed by Blackie Collins at Jenkins Metals in Gastonia, NC. The company later became a subsidiary of Gerber before its knife designs were eventually sold. Today, Benchmark primarily focuses on saw blades and industrial cutting tools, though some legacy knife models like balisongs, neck knives, and ceramic knives remain available through various retailers. The brand should not be confused with Benchmade.
