Benchmade 748 Narrows

The Benchmade 748 Narrows is lean, light, and strong. These are the basic parameters that Benchmade set for the 748 Narrows™, but there’s nothing basic about this future forward folder. Coming in at 0.28 inches thick, the milled titanium handle of the Narrows™ is the slimmest full-size frame Benchmade has ever built, making it the most pocketable, space-saving large knife in our lineup. Accordingly, we’ve also introduced a new take on the AXIS® lock, eliminating steel liners and omega springs and subbing in a sleek new lock stud and torsion spring assembly. With the benefit of a thin M390 drop-point blade and the pop of PVD-coated Sapphire Blue hardware, this stylish EDC takes ultralight utility to the extreme.

Bohler M390 Steel: Bohler M390 stainless steel is one of the recent wave of “super steels” heralded by knife makers all over the world. It has characteristics of high hardness and excellent corrosion resistance. This means you’re going to get a very fine edge that retains it sharpness even through hard use, with little to no patina. Introduced and manufactured by Bohler-Uddeholm, M390 is a powdered steel. Bohler’s specifications claim a Rockwell hardness of 60 – 62HRC, putting it in the higher echelon of stainless knife steels. M390 is called a “micro clean” steel and takes a mirror finish very well.
