BM748: 748 Narrows - Blue Accents

Benchmade

Winner of the 2023 BLADE Show America-Made Knife of the Year award!

Lean, light, and strong. These are the basic parameters Benchmade set for the 748 Narrows, but there's nothing basic about this future-forward folder. Coming in at a svelte 0.28" thick, the titanium handle of the Narrows is one of the slimmest full-size folders Benchmade has ever built, making it one of the most pocketable, space-saving large knife in their lineup. Accordingly, Benchmade has also introduced a new take on the AXIS lock, eliminating steel liners and omega springs and subbing in a sleek new lock stud and torsion spring assembly. With the benefit of a thin and slicey M390 drop-point blade and the pop of anodized blue hardware, this stylish EDC takes ultralight utility to the extreme.

Cons: None
Small knife lightness. Big knife capabilty.
I live in a hot climate and typically wear very thin, light weight pants and shorts. I don't want a heavy pocket knife pulling my pocket down. I typically carry small folders like a Kershaw Leek. But they are very small and delicate and not suitable for more robust tasks. This knife disappears in the pocket like a small knife, but has a larger blade with more capability. I don't understand some of the reviews mentioning that this knife doesn't open smoothly. Mine opens with a quick, very low effort flick. And it's smooth as butter. It's beautifully made and when anyone asks me to take a look, they are blown away when I hand it to them and they feel how light it is. This is a very nice, gentleman's pocket knife for sure.

2 thin, 2 long & 2 much!
Just got mine and have been playing with it and immediately had some thoughts. Price aside, there are some design issues with this knife.While I understand wanting to be the thinest pocket knife on the market, it is just too thin. You’ll never cut anything thicker than paper or tape without it digging into your handAnd being uncomfortable. Given this, the blade materials (m390) almost seems wasted, like overkill. Its thinness also makes it unwieldy. Without any girth, operating the blade feels unstable.Now, with the thinnest knife on the market, why would you opt for a full length blade?!? It’s too much. Though I know it isn’t, it feels too long in pocket. Proportionally, 2.9” would have felt better, perhaps a little less tall. As others have said, I’m not really sure who this knife is for. I only bought one due to getting a sub $400 price and being curious. For most anyone else, I expect it to be too thin or too expensive for any real world task or job. I usually love me some Benchmade, but this one just misses any typical markets.

Pros: Weight, Handle Material, Overall Quality, Blade Sharpness
Cons: Lock Ease of Use
Good but overpriced(read Mathew’s review) dead on
Fit and finish is great and it looks amazing, something I was a little nervous about because more than one of my benchmade has come with an off center blade and uneven grind on the blade. When I flick it out though the axis lock is kinda sticky. Also being that the blade is so light it takes a lot more effort to flick the blade out. The bluing looks pretty cheap especially on the pocket clip. It’s comfortable but you can definitely tell how thin it is. It’s a cool knife but you can get much better knifes for the price. Benchmade has let their name get to their heads and I’m disappointed with how much they are asking for this. If I could redo it I wouldn’t buy it again!!
