A Replica Folding Knife, Modeled After the Benchmade 18060 Taggedout™

A replica folding knife, modeled after the Benchmade 18060 Taggedout™. It features a satin-finish metal blade, clearly marked with “CPM MAGNACUT” and the Benchmade butterfly logo above “benchmade company”. The knife has an orange accented pivot, a black synthetic handle with textured grip panels, ribbed finger grooves, a prominent silver thumb stud, and a push-button lock mechanism. A black pocket clip adorned with a deer head logo is attached to the reverse. The knife is presented in its brown faux-wood grain box, prominently displaying “HUNT” and the Benchmade logo. A white label on the box provides specific details including “BENCHMADE®”, model “18060 TAGGEDOUT™”, “Featuring SelectEdge®”, “Blue Class”, and a date “8/4/22”. The label also states “MANUAL OPEN” and “CPM-154” as the blade steel, which contradicts the “CPM MAGNACUT” marking on the blade. The word “HINTING” is also present on the label, likely a typographical error for “HUNTING”. Research indicates that items of this model number and visual appearance are widely available from online marketplaces such as DHgate at significantly lower price points than genuine Benchmade products, often with differing blade steel specifications (e.g., 9Cr18Mov). The discrepancy between the blade marking (‘CPM MAGNACUT’) and the box label (‘CPM-154’) further suggests this item is not an authentic Benchmade product.
