Benchmade Freek® Knife - Black and Gray Textured G10 with Red Base Layer

Form and function without compromise. The 560BK-1 Freek brings together two incredibly durable materials, G10 and CPM-M4 steel and combines them with layered G10 milled to provide excellent grip and style. The red G10 base layer and anodized aluminum barrel spacers bring an additional pop of color to the handles. Designed for hard use and pushing the limits of what the original Freek was meant to do, this slightly quirky but supremely tough folder is truly a super Freek.

How it's Made

Laser-cut from sheets of high-grade steel, every Benchmade blade is ground, beveled and finished with uncompromising precision. Mill and machine handles in-house to the most exacting specifications and every knife is hand-assembled and sharpened by highly trained technicians bringing to bear over thirty years of manufacturing excellence in the state-of-the-art factory in Oregon City, Oregon.

Uses

Proper care and regular maintenance help make your Benchmade knife yours, for life. Here are some tips for keeping your Benchmade in peak condition

• All steel, regardless of price and grade, can eventually rust, so it's important to keep your knife dry and lubricated. If spotting or rust occurs, semi-chrome metal polish will often take care of it
• Dishwashers can cause serious damage that is not covered under the warranty, so make sure to hand-wash your Benchmade under warm water with dish soap only and dry thoroughly
• Remember, knives are cutting tools and you should never use your knife as a pry-bar, screwdriver, chisel or punch, unless the knife is designed explicitly for those purposes
• If you choose to sharpen your blade yourself, avoid grinding wheels and other high-powered machinery
• Handle, pivot and pocket clip screws may require occasional adjustment using T6 & T10 Torx drivers. Recommend applying a small dab of releasable thread-locker as needed
