Benchmade 565-1 Mini Freek is a premium version of the everyday folder, equipped with a S90V steel blade, an elegant carbon fiber handle and eye-catching accessories in blood red.
Exclusive steel
The knife has a 76 mm long blade, made of elite CPM-S90V stainless steel, which is subjected to hardening to a hardness of 59-61 HRC, optimal for EDC knives.
CPM-S90V is a luxurious stainless steel with a very high content of vanadium and carbon, which makes the blade long-lasting and highly resistant to abrasion and corrosion.
When choosing a hard steel knife, you should get a diamond sharpener, as sharpening with a standard ceramic whetstone can be very laborious and ineffective.
Utility blade
The blade with a usable drop-point profile is finished with a satin finish (polishing) technique. The matte blade does not reflect light and masks small scratches well.
Thanks to the durable point, flat grinding and cutting edge with a slightly rounded line, the knife penetrates easily and has excellent cutting properties. The back section of the spine was raised and transverse cutters were made on it, allowing for a stable finger support during work.
The thickness of the blade at its widest point is 2.6 mm, which is a compromise between the durability and functionality of the knife in everyday work.
Easy to unfold
The blade can be conveniently and quickly unfolded with one hand using a double-sided pin, which ensures comfort for right and left-handed people. An element that attracts the attention of every knife enthusiast is the red color of the dowel and spacer sleeves.
Proven lock
The flagship Benchmade mechanism, a double-sided Axis-lock blockade, is responsible for work safety, valued for its great mechanical strength, resistance to dirt and ease of use for right and left-handed users.
Comfortable handle
The knife has light and durable carbon fiber linings, which are attached to steel liners, which are responsible for the rigidity and strength of the structure.
One of the most important advantages of carbon fiber, apart from its striking appearance, is minimal weight.
The profiled handle is wider at the base, which makes the knife grip comfortable and the hand does not slip onto the blade during operation.
In this model, red anodized spacers were used, which contrast with the dark colors of the knife and undoubtedly attract the attention of every knife lover.
The Benchmade 565-1 Mini Freek is an elegant everyday knife made of sophisticated materials that is sure to become a part of the collection of many enthusiasts of knives.
