The Benchmade Valet 485S is the partially serrated version of Warren Osborne's slim EDC folder. Its 2.96-inch CPM-M390 drop-point blade adds a serrated section for chewing through rope, straps, and packaging while keeping a plain forward edge for clean slicing. The contoured gray G10 handle and ambidextrous AXIS lock keep it thin, light, and dressy at just 2.18 ounces.
