Benchmade - 565-1 Mini Freek Folding Knife

Benchmade - 565-1 Mini Freek Folding Knife

The knife has a 76 mm long blade, made of elite CPM-S90V stainless steel, which is subjected to optimal hardening for edc knives to a hardness of 59-61 HRC.

CPM-S90V is a luxurious stainless steel with a very high content of vanadium and carbon, which make the blade stay sharp for a long time, highly resistant to abrasion and corrosion.

When choosing a hard-steel knife, get a diamond sharpener, as sharpening with a standard ceramic whetstone can be very labor-intensive and inefficient.

Head
A blade with a usable drop-point profile finished with the technique of satin-finishing (polishing). Matte blade does not reflect light and masks fine scratches well.

Thanks to the use of a sturdy shank, a flat grind and a cutting edge with a gently rounded line, the knife penetrates easily and has excellent cutting properties. The back section of the ridge has been raised and transverse cutters have been made on it, allowing the finger to rest steadily while working.

The thickness of the blade at its widest point is 2.6 mm, which is a compromise between durability and functionality of the knife in everyday work.

Simple operation and robust, reliable mechanisms

The blade can be conveniently and quickly unfolded with one hand using the double-sided peg, providing convenience for right and left-handed people. The element that attracts the attention of any knife enthusiast is the the red color scheme of the peg and spacers.

Benchmade's flagship mechanism is responsible for safe operation, double-sided Axis-lock, valued for its tremendous mechanical strength, resistance to dirt, and ease of use for right- and left-handed users.

Comfortable carbon fiber handle

The knife has facings made of lightweight and durable carbon fiber, which were attached to steel liners, responsible for the rigidity and strength of the structure.

One of the most important advantages of carbon fiber, besides its striking appearance, of course, is its minimal weight.

The profiled handle is wider at the base, which makes the grip of the knife comfortable and the hand will not slip on the blade while working.

This model uses red anodized spacer sleeves, which contrast spectacularly with the dark colors of the knife and undoubtedly attract the attention of any knife lover.

Benchmade 565-1 Mini Freek is an elegant everyday knife, made of refined materials, which is sure to become a part of the collection of many knife enthusiasts.
