Benchmade Mini Boost 595BK – 3.11" Black CPM-S30V Drop Point Assisted Opening Folding Knife
The Benchmade Mini Boost 595BK is the black blade version of Benchmade's compact Boost, matching a 3.11" black coated CPM-S30V drop point with the AXIS Assist mechanism and integrated safety. The dark gray Grivory handle wears a black Versaflex overmold, the dual durometer grip that defined the Boost family, and the whole package weighs just 3.31 oz. Benchmade has discontinued the Boost line, and this page stays current for owners and collectors. Going Gear is an authorized Benchmade dealer.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the Benchmade Mini Boost blade?
The Benchmade Mini Boost 595BK (BEN-595BK) has a 3.11" blade, the same compact drop point footprint as the satin Mini Boost 595, here with a black coating over the CPM-S30V steel. Overall length is 7.18" open and 4.07" closed.
What does BK mean on the Benchmade Mini Boost 595BK?
The BK suffix on the Benchmade Mini Boost 595BK describes the blade, not the handle. The 595BK carries a black coated CPM-S30V drop point on the same gray Grivory and black Versaflex handle as the standard Mini Boost 595.
What steel does the Benchmade Mini Boost 595BK use?
The Benchmade Mini Boost 595BK uses CPM-S30V premium stainless steel at 58-60 HRC. The black coating adds glare reduction and extra corrosion protection over S30V's already reliable stainless performance.
Is the Benchmade Mini Boost 595BK an automatic knife?
No. The Benchmade Mini Boost 595BK is an assisted opening knife. The AXIS Assist mechanism finishes the blade's travel after you start it with the thumb stud, and an integrated safety keeps it closed. Assisted openers face fewer restrictions than automatics in most places, but always verify your local knife laws.
What is a Blue Class Benchmade knife?
Blue Class was Benchmade's everyday carry tier, and the Benchmade Mini Boost 595BK shipped under that label before Benchmade retired the class system. It was built in Oregon City, Oregon like every Benchmade.
Does LifeSharp cover the Benchmade Mini Boost 595BK?
Yes. Benchmade's LifeSharp lifetime service covers the Benchmade Mini Boost 595BK even though it is discontinued. Benchmade will clean, adjust, and factory resharpen the knife at no charge.
Where can I buy the Benchmade Mini Boost 595BK?
The Benchmade Mini Boost 595BK is discontinued, so remaining stock is scarce and secondary prices vary. Going Gear is an authorized Benchmade dealer and carries current compact Benchmade EDC folders such as the Mini Bugout and Mini Barrage.
