Benchmade 565PL-2501 Mini Freek folding knife - the perfect EDC with character.
If you re looking for a knife that not only looks phenomenal, but also always works when you need it, the Benchmade Mini Freek 565PL-2501 is made for you. It s a compact, lightweight, yet rugged EDC folder that combines exceptional styling with unmatched functionality. Every detail of it - from the blade to the handle - has been designed for users who know that a good knife is not an accessory, but an indispensable everyday tool.

TheBenchmade 565PL-2501 Mini Freek is a premium folding knife, equipped with a CPM M4 steel blade, an elegant translucent handle made of Ultem plastic in yellow.

Features of the knife:

• Premium steel blade: Drop point blade made of high-carbon CPM-M4 tool steel, hardened to a hardness of 62-64 HRC. CPM-M4 steel features excellent sharpness retention, exceptional hardness and abrasion resistance thanks to the additions of vanadium, molybdenum and tungsten. Cerakote ceramic coating protects the blade from corrosion, scratches and external factors.
• Functional blade: The 76 mm long blade with a high flat grind provides excellent cutting properties and high durability. A ramp on the back of the blade creates a stable point of support for the thumb, increasing precision and comfort.
• Reliable locking mechanism: Axis Lock guarantees safety, durability and convenience of use, regardless of conditions. The double-sided peg allows the blade to be opened quickly and easily with one hand, for both right- and left-handed users.
• Durable and ergonomic handle: Molded liners made of translucent Ultem plastic, which is durable and resistant to temperatures up to 180⁰C.
• Aesthetics and functionality: Lightweight, durable and designed for demanding users, it will be perfect for everyday use and outdoor challenges.
• The blade in the Benchmade knife is made of high-quality tool steel
• The new 560BK model has a blade made of high-carbon CPM-M4 tool steel hardened to as high as 62-64 HRC. Thanks to its high molybdenum, vanadium and tungsten content, the high carbon level has been balanced, resulting in excellent sharpness retention and tremendous hardness.

Sharpening such steel is difficult and time-consuming, and regular maintenance of the blade must also be remembered. In return, however, the user receives a tool whose aggressive cutting and extremely long maintenance of working sharpness perfectly compensate for the mentioned inconveniences. The ramp located on the back of the blade creates a secure support for the thumb when operating the knife.

The Benchmade Freek folder has a durable and robust blade lock.
The double-sided peg allows right- and left-handers to quickly unfold the blade with one hand. The lock used is, of course, Axis-lock, invariably considered one of the strongest and convenient mechanisms used in folding knives.

The high comfort of the Benchmade Mini Freek folding knife
The liners in the folder are attached to residual steel liners that provide adequate structural rigidity. The liners are made of polished, transparent Ultem plastic. The lightweight material from the polyethermoids family is characterized by high strength and resistance to temperatures up to 180⁰C, as well as high chemical resistance.

The handle is finished with a hole for attaching a paracord cord or other decorative tag.
