Benchmade Freek
Form and function without compromise. The 560BK-1 Freek brings together two incredibly durable materials, G10 and CPM-M4 steel, and combines them with layered G10 milled to provide excellent grip and style. The red G10 base layer and anodized aluminum barrel spacers bring an additional pop of color to the handles. Designed for hard use and pushing the limits of what the original Freek was meant to do, this slightly quirky but supremely tough folder is truly a super Freek.

Use and Care:
Proper care and regular maintenance help make your Benchmade knife yours, for life. Here are some tips for keeping your Benchmade in peak condition:
• All steel, regardless of price and grade, can eventually rust, so it’s important to keep your knife dry and lubricated. If spotting or rust occurs, semi-chrome metal polish will often take care of it.
• Dishwashers can cause serious damage that is not covered under our warranty, so make sure to hand-wash your Benchmade under warm water with dish soap only, and dry thoroughly.
• Remember, knives are cutting tools, and you should never use your knife as a pry-bar, screwdriver, chisel, or punch, unless the knife is designed explicitly for those purposes.
• If you choose to sharpen your blade yourself, avoid grinding wheels and other high-powered machinery.
• Handle, pivot, and pocket clip screws may require occasional adjustment using T6 & T10 Torx drivers. We recommend applying a small dab of releasable thread-locker as needed.
