Benchmade Freek 560SBK – 3.60" Black Serrated CPM-S30V Drop Point Folding Knife
The Benchmade Freek 560SBK is the black-blade, partially serrated version of the full-size Freek, featuring a 3.60" black-coated CPM-S30V drop point blade with a combo edge and a dual-durometer gray Grivory handle with black Versaflex overmold. The fully ambidextrous AXIS lock gives fast one-hand operation, and the serrations power through rope, webbing, and fibrous materials that defeat a plain edge. Going Gear is an authorized Benchmade dealer.
