Benchmade knife blades made from high-quality tool steel
The blade of this model is made from high-carbon CPM-M4 tool steel, hardened up to 62-64 HRC. The high carbon content, balanced with significant amounts of molybdenum, vanadium, and tungsten, ensures excellent edge retention and tremendous hardness.
Steel like this is difficult and time-consuming to sharpen, and the blade requires regular maintenance. In return, however, the user gets a tool whose aggressive cutting performance and exceptionally long-lasting edge more than make up for these inconveniences. The jimping on the blade's spine provides a secure thumb rest when using the knife.
The Benchmade Freek folding knife features a durable and sturdy blade lock
The dual thumb stud allows right- and left-handed users to quickly flip open the blade with one hand. The lock used is, of course, the Axis-Lock, consistently regarded as one of the strongest and most convenient locking mechanisms used in folding knives.
High comfort of the Benchmade Mini Freek folding knife
The handle scales are fastened to steel liners, which ensure proper structural rigidity. The scales are made of polished, translucent Ultem plastic. This lightweight polyetherimide-family material offers high strength and heat resistance up to 180°C, as well as strong chemical resistance.
The handle features a lanyard hole for attaching a paracord lanyard or other decorative charm.
Carry that doesn't get in the way - Tip-Up carry

The Mini Freek 565PL-2501 is more than just a knife - it's an everyday companion that performs wherever quality, precision, and style matter. Ready for action. Ready for you.
