Benchmade Bedlam 860SBK Folding Knife
The Benchmade Bedlam 860SBK is the manual, black-blade version of Benchmade's bold full-size Bedlam folder. Its 3.95" black-coated 154CM blade wears the aggressive upswept modified Bowie profile with a partially serrated combo edge, and opens with a smooth thumb-stud flick on Benchmade's ambidextrous AXIS lock. The serrations tear through rope, strap and other tough materials, while contoured black G10 scales give a secure, hand-filling grip for hard everyday and tactical use.
154CM stainless offers a proven balance of edge retention, toughness and corrosion resistance. Like every Benchmade, the Bedlam 860SBK is made in the USA in Oregon City, Oregon.
