Benchmade 865BK-01 Mini Bedlam Folding Knife

The Benchmade 865BK-01 Mini Bedlam is a compact folding knife that brings tactical style and impressive functionality to everyday carry. This smaller version of the original Bedlam keeps the aggressive scimitar blade shape and robust build, while offering a more convenient size for daily use.

Blade and Steel
The blade is made from CPM-S90V stainless steel, a premium material known for its excellent edge retention, high wear resistance, and strong corrosion resistance. It features a black Cerakote coating for added durability and a distinctive look. The curved scimitar-style blade is designed for powerful, precise cuts and excels in both slicing and hooking motions. With a blade length of 88 mm and a thickness of 2.9 mm, it is ideal for demanding tasks. Due to the hardness of S90V steel (59-61 HRC), sharpening is best done with a diamond sharpener.

Handle and Construction
The handle is constructed from layered G10 in shades of coyote, black, and green. Aggressive texturing and complex milling ensure a secure grip, even in wet or stressful conditions. The ergonomic design includes a pronounced finger guard, grip notches, and a rounded backspacer for comfort and control.

Locking and Mechanism
Benchmade’s Axis Lock system provides reliable and secure blade retention. This mechanism is known for its strength, resistance to dirt, and ease of use. The knife opens smoothly with a thumb stud, making it accessible for both right- and left-handed users.

Carry and Use
The Mini Bedlam includes a tip-up pocket clip for easy, ambidextrous carry. It has a closed length of 132 mm, an open length of 212 mm, and weighs 136 grams, making it sturdy yet comfortable to carry in your pocket.
