Benchmade Custom Mini Crooked River – Damasteel and Carbon Fiber Custom Build
This Benchmade Custom Mini Crooked River is a one-off configuration from Benchmade's Custom program, built on the 15085 Mini Crooked River platform with the upgraded Damasteel clip point blade and carbon fiber handle scales.
