For this reason, Benchmade is excellent, a pocket knife or knife for each use, we present the families in which BENCHMADE specializes and how to choose the knife that best suits you. ![]() There are many uses for a knife and some knives are better for certain activities than others. Currently, only the full size Freek has been bumped up whether the Mini Freek will follow suit remains to be seen.Pocket knives and BENCHMADE knives, a knife or a pocket knife for each use Gone are the Versaflex scales, replaced by open construction, two-tone G-10 ones, and the blade steel has been moved from S30V to CPM-M4. Both cutting edges measure just over 3.5 inches long, and on the butt-end of the knife Benchmade included their seatbelt cutter and carbide glass breaker.īenchmade also gave the Freek model the same premium treatment it has latterly visited on its Griptilian series, among others. The blades are accessed and secured via the Option Lock, a modded Axis Lock that can open and close either blade as needed. The plain edge is made from S30V, and the serrated from 3V, an increasingly common sight in the Benchmade corral. The major selling point on the Outlast is that it incorporates two separate blades into the same chassis: a plain edge drop point or a serrated, tipless safety blade. Their latest is called the Outlast, and while it was presumably not named in an homage to the popular horror video game series, the new Black Class model does aim to see its users through scary situations. More than most other makers, Benchmade pays attention to the rescue knife format. Again in keeping with the Adamas connection, Benchmade promises that the Axis Lock on the Turret is among the strongest iterations of the mechanism they have ever built. It manages to maintain a reasonable (given the size) weight of 5.81 oz. Across the board, the Turret’s focus has clearly been utility rather than innovation, with no major surprises in the handle, clip, or thumb stud opening method. Its burly drop point blade is 3.7 inches long and fashioned from – no surprise here – S30V steel. When closed, the friction folder Aller’s extended tang can be used to open the knife, and it also works as a bottle opener according to Benchmade’s count, that means this little knife has six different functions.Ībout as far removed from the Aller as it is possible to get, the Turret positions itself as a bruiser in the tradition of heavy duty Benchmades like the Adamas. A titanium clip imbues the knife with some custom feel and is also being touted as a money clip. On the backside is a screwdriver-combination-prybar with a bit slot into it, and a lanyard hole cut through the handle itself. Its blade, a (relatively, given the size) tall sheepsfoot, is made from S30V and scaled for minor cutting chores. It was one in a long line of bite-sized custom knives, but drew away from the pack with its unique blade shape, snazzy flourishes, and multifunctional frame.īenchmade managed to translate all of these feature into the Aller. Patrick Famin and Eric Demongivert accrued many fans in 2017 with the release of the Vital. The Freek has also been upgraded with a new handle material and blade steel. A new collaboration brings the multifunctional Vital custom to a production form, a fresh face joins the ranks of Benchmade’s bigger folders, and a new Black Class rescue knife introduces a new take on the Axis Lock. Benchmade has quietly added several new knives to its website. ![]()
