The Benchmade Foray 698-181 Gold Class is one of the most prestigious interpretations of the compact Foray, produced by Benchmade as a Limited Edition from the Gold Class series, the line dedicated to the most exclusive models in the American manufacturer's production.

Gold Class represents the pinnacle of the Benchmade philosophy: selected models are reinterpreted using premium materials, special machining and superior finishes, transforming a production knife into an object primarily intended for collecting.

The 698-181 combines a spectacular stainless Damasteel blade with Loki pattern with a handle made of marbled carbon fiber with mother-of-pearl inlays, creating a striking contrast between technical materials and natural details that makes each example visually distinctive.

One of the most sought-after versions of the Benchmade Foray

The Foray was conceived as a compact and elegant folder, characterized by balanced proportions and Benchmade's renowned AXIS Lock mechanism.

In the 698-181 Gold Class version, the technical foundation of the model is elevated through significantly more refined materials: Damasteel, marbled carbon fiber, mother of pearl, dark-finished components and anodized details.

The result is a knife that retains dimensions perfectly suited to EDC use, but whose materials, rarity and positioning place it primarily in the world of Benchmade collecting.

Loki Damasteel Blade

The blade measures approximately 82 mm and is made from stainless Damasteel with Loki pattern, with a declared hardness of approximately 58-60 HRC.

Damasteel is produced through the processing of different stainless steels using advanced metallurgical techniques that create the characteristic layered pattern visible across the blade surface.

The Loki pattern used on this version creates a particularly pronounced design and makes every blade slightly different from an aesthetic point of view.

The drop-point profile also preserves the functional character of the original Foray, offering a versatile and well-balanced geometry.

Marbled Carbon Fiber and Mother of Pearl

The handle uses marbled carbon fiber, a lightweight and structurally strong material characterized by an irregular, three-dimensional texture.

The handle scales incorporate mother-of-pearl inlays, producing different reflections and shades depending on the lighting and viewing angle. Historical specifications for this model identify these inlays as Black Lip Mother of Pearl.

It is precisely this combination of technical carbon fiber and natural material that gives the 698-181 a personality clearly distinct from standard Foray versions.

Gold Class Details

The 698-181 version also features a number of details specific to the Gold Class configuration:

• Loki Pattern Damasteel blade
• Marbled Carbon Fiber handle
• Black Lip Mother of Pearl inlays
• Steel liners with DLC coating
• DLC-coated hardware
• Anodized thumb stud
• Anodized barrel spacers
• Reversible tip-up deep-carry clip with DLC coating
• AXIS Lock locking system

These features belong to the 2018 Gold Class configuration of the model, now discontinued and particularly appealing to Benchmade collectors.

American master knife maker Lucas Burnley embodies the Japanese concept of Kihon with the design of the Böker Plus Kihon DC. The term Kihon represents the fundamental principles and basic techniques of Japanese martial arts, which Burnley translates into a solid, essential, and highly functional everyday knife.
