The Benchmade history began in 1979 when Les de Asis wanted a knife that had the best quality to replace the cheap balisongs or butterfly knives, he played with as a kid. Les used his high-school experience to develop and make his dream knife a reality. He created his first balisong in his own garage. From there he took the knife he had created, the model 68 Bali-Song, to a gun store where he was asked to make more of them. From this knife came the famous Benchmade Butterfly Logo that millions recognize everywhere. And from then on, the knife industry has never been the same. As a leader in the industry, Benchmade is continuously developing the best products available. 

Black Class: The Pagan is a part of Benchmade’s Black Class. The Black Class knives, also known as the Professional Class, are used by specialists when a quality tool means the difference between life and death. The Black Class can be classified as a tactical knife class. The term “Tactical Knife” often gets thrown around the industry for a variety of reasons. Whether it is a publicity tactic or an actual description of the knife’s purpose, there has been a filtering lens to see what the knife is really made for. These knives are designed, built, and tested for heavy duty work. They are preferred cutting tools for Police, Public Safety Workers, and the Military. Different than Benchmade’s Blue Class, these knives are prepared to handle the various tactical duties that are thrown their way. These knives can also serve a purpose in the everyday carry Blue Class. The Pagan was created as a tool to help those in law enforcement and the military accomplish their different tasks.
