Knife enthusiasts and collectors have long loved the Freek for its combination of premium materials, top-tier ergonomics, and eye-popping style.

What a great EDC
With many knives to choose from this little gem finds its way into my pocket quite often these days. It is great for every day cutting tasks like envelopes and boxes and has stood up wellto some harder cutting tasks. I highly recommend this knife.

This EDC is FREEKING GREAT!!!
I purchased the Benchmade Freek w/Blk Cerakoted CPM - M4 blade w/Blk/Gray handles back on 03/04/2023...LOVED it! i Purchased the Freek cpm - s90v Satin Drop Point back on 11/18/2023. OMG you couldn't ask for a better EDC. This is almost the same knife. Both of these knives are super sharp out the box!Just love the S90V blade! Love the way you can deploy them both. Look up my review on the M4 blade (FREEK) . That review goes ditto with this Freek! AMAZING U can't go wrong! HAPPY NEW YEAR

Amazing knife
I ordered this immediately because I love the ergos of the Freek and I thought this setup was beautiful. It did not disappoint. The materials make this a very refined version of the knife - I wouldn't go smashing around with carbon fiber and S90V - but I really like it. Beefy and elegant with perfect balance right at the Axis Lock. Totally worth it. The only con is the factory edge, as usual with Benchmade, which is just sharp instead of razor sharp.
