Benchmade Bedlam 860 Folding Knife
The Benchmade Bedlam 860 is the manual version of Benchmade's bold, full-size Bedlam folder. Its 3.95" satin-finished 154CM blade wears the same aggressive upswept modified Bowie profile as the automatic, but opens with a smooth thumb-stud flick on Benchmade's ambidextrous AXIS lock. Contoured black G10 scales give a secure, hand-filling grip that suits hard everyday and tactical use.
154CM stainless offers a proven balance of edge retention, toughness and corrosion resistance. Like every Benchmade, the Bedlam 860 is made in the USA in Oregon City, Oregon.
