Brand new, direct from Benchmade Knives

The Blade: The drop point blade of the Mini Freek deploys fast and smooth on phosphor bronze washers utilizing dual thumb studs for fully ambidextrous operation. The high height saber grind provides a thin, slicing edge with a robust spine thickness for a great combination of toughness and cutting performance. The satin finished S30V blade delivers a balance of toughness, edge retention and corrosion resistance for optimal every day use.

The Handle: .The contoured handles are made from tough, light weight and textured Grey Grivory with textured black Versaflex overmold which offers a non-slip grip in the worst conditions. Inset satin finished stainless steel liners make a rock solid foundation for this compact, utilitarian folder. A partially closed back construction protects the blade from pocket debris while the AXIS lock provides true ambidextrous operation and some of the most secure lockup in the industry.

The Mini Freek carries via a reversible (tip-up), stainless steel, "Split Arrow" pocket clip that comes in a Black Oxide finish for discreet carry.

CPM S30V: A martensitic, powdered stainless steel with high levels of wear and corrosion resistance. Its chemistry promotes the formation and even distribution of vanadium carbides, which are harder and more effective at cutting than chromium carbides. This gives it a very refined grain, further improving the sharpness and toughness. S30V is a great, all around steel with high levels of performance.
