The Benchmade 565-1 Mini Freek is a premium everyday folder, equipped with a S90V steel blade, an elegant carbon fiber handle and eye-catching blood red accessories. Exclusive steel The knife has a blade with a length of 76 mm , made of elite CPM-S90V stainless steel , which is subjected to hardening to a hardness of 59-61 HRC , which is optimal for EDC knives . CPM-S90V is a luxury stainless steel with a very high content of vanadium and carbon, which makes the blade stay sharp for a long time, and is highly resistant to abrasion and corrosion . When choosing a hard steel knife, you should get a diamond sharpener, because sharpening with a standard ceramic whetstone can be very laborious and ineffective. Utility blade The blade with a useful drop-point profile was finished with the satin technique (polishing). The matt blade does not reflect light and masks minor scratches well. Thanks to the use of a durable point, flat grind and a cutting edge with a gently rounded line, the knife easily penetrates and has excellent cutting properties. The back section of the spine was raised and transverse cutters were made on it, allowing for 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 unfolding The blade can be conveniently and quickly unfolded with one hand using a double-sided pin , ensuring comfort for right and left-handed people. The element that attracts the attention of every knife enthusiast is the red color of the pin and spacer sleeves . Proven lock The flagship Benchmade mechanism, the double-sided Axis-lock lock , is responsible for work safety , appreciated for its enormous mechanical strength, resistance to dirt and ease of use for right and left-handed users. Comfortable handle The knife has linings made of light and durable carbon fiber , which are attached to steel liners, responsible for the stiffness and strength of the structure. One of the most important advantages of carbon fiber, apart from its impressive appearance, is its minimal weight . The profiled handle is wider at the base, which makes the knife grip comfortable and the hand will not slide onto the blade during work . This model uses red anodized spacer sleeves, which contrast effectively with the dark color of the knife and undoubtedly attract the attention of every knife lover. Benchmade 565-1 Mini Freek is an elegant knife for everyday use, made of sophisticated materials, which will certainly become part of the collection of many knife enthusiasts.
