The Benchmade 560BK-1 Freek is a popular knife model, which for the first time is made of two extremely durable materials, legendary CPM-M4 steel and G10 laminate. The Benchmade 560BK Fre ek has a drop-point blade with a perfectly sized usable length of 91mm. The blade's high flat grind has been protected from the elements with a hard Cerakote ceramic coating, featuring very high abrasion and scratch resistance. The new 560BK model has a blade made of high-carbon CPM-M4 tool steel hardened to as high as 62-64 HRC . Thanks to the high molybdenum, vanadium and tungsten content, the high carbon level has been balanced, resulting in excellent sharpness retention and tremendous hardness. Sharpening such steel is difficult and time-consuming, and regular maintenance of the blade must also be remembered. However, in return, the user receives a tool whose aggressive cutting and extremely long maintenance of working sharpness perfectly compensate for the mentioned inconveniences. The double-sided peg allows both right- and left-handed people to quickly unfold the blade with one hand. The lock used is, of course, Axis-lock , invariably considered one of the strongest and convenient mechanisms used in folding knives. A ramp located on the back of the blade creates a secure support for the thumb when operating the knife. The profiled facings are made of black-gray G10 laminate, which has been milled to increase grip and grip security. The uniqueness of this model is emphasized by red inserts (liners) and polished spacers maintained in the same color scheme. A steel clip is attached to the handle, which can be switched to the other side (left/right).
