Ultem. M4. And a Hint of Gemstone.
With the Mini Freek Limited 2025, Benchmade presents a true collector’s piece for the SHOT Show Special. Inspired by the rich contrast of amethyst and topaz, this edition plays with bold opposites: translucent amber ULTEM™, a violet-coated blade – and a design you won’t forget anytime soon.
Amber Ultem meets violet-coated M4 steel.
The handle scales are made from semi-transparent amber ULTEM™ – an ultra-rigid, high-performance polymer normally found in aerospace applications. Here, it gets the spotlight it deserves: lightweight, durable, and instantly recognizable.
The CPM-M4 blade features a violet Cerakote® coating – a color that doesn’t scream, but still stands out. M4 is a tool steel for those who know their craft – uncompromising, incredibly tough, and built for hard use.
AXIS® Lock
Naturally, the legendary AXIS® Lock is part of the build – Benchmade’s signature locking mechanism, fully ambidextrous, smooth in action, and a joy to operate. Patented for decades, and still one of the smartest lock systems on the market.
At just 70 grams, with a handle thickness of 13.6 mm and a blade length of 7.65 cm, the Mini Freek remains compact, EDC-friendly – and still a standout.
This limited edition is made for those who want more than just a good knife – it’s for those who want a piece with a story, a bold identity, and serious collector appeal.
Whether it lives in your pocket or your display case.
Ultra-slim. Ultra-light. 100% Benchmade.
With the Mini Narrows, Benchmade shows how modern an EDC knife can be. This isn’t a compromise – it’s a statement. Built from solid titanium, equipped with a finely ground CPM-20CV blade and the trusted AXIS® Lock – a mechanism Benchmade once held the patent for and perfected over decades.
Slim. Precise. Made for daily carry.
At just 7.4 mm handle thickness, the Mini Narrows is one of the thinnest production folders Benchmade has ever released. But don’t let the slim profile fool you – the milled titanium handle offers all the stability you need without adding unnecessary bulk.
The CPM-20CV blade fits this design perfectly: clean lines, precise cutting performance, and ideal for anyone who wants a lightweight, high-end cutting tool for everyday use.
Engineering you don’t see – but feel.
The re-engineered Mini AXIS® Lock was specifically developed for this format. It’s ambidextrous, intuitive, and benefits from Benchmade’s long-standing experience with the AXIS system – a mechanism that’s become a standard in modern folder design thanks to their early innovation.
Paired with titanium backspacers, a reversible deep-carry clip, and clean aesthetics, the Mini Narrows is just as comfortable in a shirt pocket as it is in your daily EDC rotation.
For those who live by “less is more.”
The Benchmade 743 Mini Narrows is made for people who know exactly what they need – and leave everything else behind. A knife for purists, gearheads, and design lovers who appreciate clean engineering and subtle performance.
Mini Narrows = Maximum Benchmade. Minimal footprint. Made in USA.
Benchmade 710FE Seven | Ten™ – The Modern Classic Returns
Some knives don’t just cut – they make history. The 710 is one of them.
When Benchmade first released the original 710, it marked a turning point in knife design. It was the very first production knife to feature the now-legendary AXIS® Lock, invented by custom knifemakers Bill McHenry and Jason Williams. The father-and-stepson duo, both meticulous craftsmen with roots in horology and knifemaking, developed a locking mechanism that was smooth, ambidextrous, and incredibly strong.
Benchmade saw the potential immediately – and the rest is history. The AXIS® Lock became a signature feature, and the 710 became a modern icon.
Now, the legend is back – sleeker, stronger, and better than ever.
Recurve Blade. Real Performance.
The recurve drop-point blade made from CPM-Magnacut steel isn’t just good-looking – it delivers serious cutting power. The recurved edge increases cutting surface and gives you more control, making it especially efficient when breaking down cardboard, slicing rope, or handling tough EDC tasks.
Tough. Lightweight. No Compromises.
The black aluminum handle strikes the perfect balance between strength and low weight. Cleanly machined contours, a large grip frame, and Benchmade’s signature ergonomics give you full control, even with gloves on. The AXIS® Lock mechanism opens and closes with ease, left- or right-handed – one of the reasons it’s still one of the best locks in the game.
This knife isn’t just well made – it’s thoughtfully made.
100% Benchmade. 100% USA.
As always with Benchmade, every single component of the 710FE is made entirely in Oregon, USA. From laser-cutting the blade to hand-assembly and final sharpening – this knife goes through the hands of experienced craftspeople who know what makes a tool exceptional.
You can feel the precision in every detail.
Conclusion – A Benchmade Legend, Reimagined
The Seven | Ten™ isn’t just a comeback – it’s the evolution of a true classic. Whether you’re looking for a high-performance EDC, a collector’s piece, or a no-nonsense tool built with integrity:
This knife bridges Benchmade’s heritage and modern innovation – and it does it beautifully.
