Benchmade Mini Freek 565SBK – Serrated AXIS Lock EDC Folder
The Benchmade Mini Freek 565SBK packs the function of the full size Freek into a smaller, easier-carry folder. It pairs a 3.00" black-coated, serrated CPM-S30V drop point blade with warm gray Grivory and black overmolded Versaflex handles, and it locks with Benchmade's ambidextrous AXIS lock. Made in the USA, and no longer in production, so check availability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Benchmade Freek and the Mini Freek?
The Benchmade Mini Freek 565SBK is the smaller version of the full size Freek. It keeps the same dual durometer handle and AXIS lock but has a 3.00" blade and a 4.05" closed length, so it carries lighter and slimmer at 2.57 oz.
Is the Benchmade Mini Freek 565SBK a good knife?
Yes. The Benchmade Mini Freek 565SBK uses CPM-S30V steel, a fully ambidextrous AXIS lock and a grippy overmolded handle, which makes it a capable everyday carry folder. The serrated edge suits cutting rope, webbing and fibrous material.
What does the SBK in 565SBK mean?
The SBK suffix on the Benchmade Mini Freek 565SBK describes the black coated serrated blade. The plain edge black blade version is the Benchmade Mini Freek 565BK.
How does the AXIS lock on the Benchmade Mini Freek 565SBK work?
A hardened steel bar rides in slots in both liners and springs over the blade tang when the blade opens. Pull the bar back to close the Benchmade Mini Freek 565SBK, with either hand.
Does Benchmade offer lifetime sharpening on the Mini Freek 565SBK?
Yes. Benchmade's LifeSharp service covers the Benchmade Mini Freek 565SBK for life, and the knife is made in Oregon City, Oregon, USA.
