Description

BM560BK1: 560BK-1 Freek | Benchmade Design

Benchmade

Form and function in the same package. The first variant in the Freek family brings together two incredibly durable materials, G10 and CPM-M4 super steel. The gray and black layered G10 is milled to provide excellent grip and style, while the red G10 base layer and anodized aluminum barrel spacers bring an additional pop of color to the handles. The high-strength CPM-M4 blade is designed for hard use, pushing the limits of what the already tough Freek was meant to do. This knife is a true super Freek.

I didn't know how bad I needed it until now!
I instantly fell in love with this knife. Believe the hype. I just wish I had grabbed one years ago so I could have gotten a partially serrated model. Pretty much every video you watch for this knife will talk about the gritty action when you first get it. I was surprised myself however, the action was buttery smooth by the end of the day without adding any lube or adjusting the pivot.

Great
Great knife extremely sharp out of the box. M4 steel is super tough and will not break just keep it dry so it doesn’t rust.
