The Benchmade Valet 485 is Warren Osborne's take on a slim, elegant everyday-carry folder. It pairs a 2.96-inch CPM-M390 drop-point blade in a bright satin finish with contoured gray G10 handle scales and the smooth ambidextrous AXIS lock. Thin at roughly 0.45 inches and just 2.18 ounces, the Valet 485 is dressy enough for a shirt pocket yet cuts far above its size thanks to premium M390 steel.
Contoured gray G10 handle with stainless steel liners
Ambidextrous AXIS lock and dual thumb-studs
Reversible deep-pocket carry clip
Roughly 6.69 inches open, about 2.18 ounces, made in the USA
