Benchmade 565-1 Mini Freek knife

TheBenchmade 565-1 Mini Freek is a premium everyday folder featuring a S90V steel blade, a sleek carbon fiber handle and striking blood red accessories.

Exclusive steel

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

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

Utility head

The blade, with a utilitarian drop-point profile, is finished with a satin (polished)technique. The matte blade does not reflect light and masks fine scratches well.

Thanks to the use of a sturdy hilt, a flat grind and a cutting edge with a gently rounded line, the knife penetrates easily and has excellent cutting qualities. The rear section of the back has been raised and transverse frets 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.

Easy unfolding

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

Proven locking mechanism

Benchmade's flagship mechanism, the double-sided Axis-lock, valued for its immense mechanical strength, dirt resistance and comfortable operation for right- and left-handed users, is responsible for safe operation.

Comfortable handle

Theknife has liners made of lightweight and durable carbon fiber, which are attached to steel liners, responsible for the rigidity and strength of the construction.

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

The contoured 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 features red anodized spacers, which contrast strikingly with the knife's dark color scheme and will undoubtedly attract the attention of any knife enthusiast.

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