I paid 299 plus tax, I love the knife which is why I compulsively bought it immediately after handling it. It was like love at first sight you can say, but the buy once; cry once
I own this knife and it's big brother, the Super Freak. This knife is very expensive for what it is. I will say it has some of the best feeling carbon fiber scales I have experienced and has a great feel in my hand. It is a great cutter and is nice to carry. It is a very good knife and as with all Benchmade knives you are paying for the materials and rock solid warranty. I think it's big brother, the Super Freak is awesome and one of my favorite knives. I really like this knife and will definitely keep it. If you are into Benchmade knives and looking for a smaller EDC that has good ergonomics and great materials this may be for you. If you are looking for value alone, the 565-1 is not your knife.
I have a rather large Benchmade collection for main reason that it is so ambidextrous for us 10% of the population left handers. Seriously, there are not many premium knives that offer models for southpaws with the exception of Chris Reeves. You can also get a Spyderco PM2 in a left handed model, but only in the standard model. I really appreciate that Benchmade allows the user to mount their pocket clip on either side of most models. You can also reverse the pivot so the torx head is on whichever side the user considers the presentation side. Every left handed knife enthusiast should support Benchmade whenever you can. On a side note, if you want to customize your Bugout, 940, or Bailout, Rockscale Designs make some awesome titanium scales the can have mounting holes added for left handed carry at the owners request. Sorry for the left handed rant because I’m definitely on the right when it comes to everything else.
Love the size of this as an everyday carry. I think if you have a 2 inch blade on u, that’s more than enough to do every average edc task we throw at it. So this at 3 inches with a 4.05 inch handle is perfectly capable but convenient to carry cause of its size/weight profile. I appreciate your videos a lot. Being fairly new to the hobby....I’ve learned a lot from each one of your videos.
Good job on this review! I agree $260+ is way too much, its super sick but it feels like a money grab! $160-180 would be a sweet but $210 is probably realistically what it should be sold for.
I just got mine, put it to work as I packed and unpackaged 56 boxes (moving to another town). I just put it aside and grabbed my leatherman again. This mini freek is a disappointment in terms of factory sharpening. Yes, by box 30, my leatherman edge wore off, so I went to minifreek again, which it did hold on longer but not as sharp as I though it would be from factory. Any way, can’t wait to sharpen it my self and see its performance. The minifreek ergonomics is awesome though.
I don't need another knife but I've wanted this one for awhile, I also handed over my M4 bailout to my bother as a collage grad present, I want it back lol
Did something change in knives that made lanyards less necessary, or is it that they were never necessary but were just a trend that has since faded? I never wanted them myself, and while I understand that it helps some people pull them from their pocket or hold a shorter one a bit better, I never needed that or wanted a lanyard hanging out. Just curious when you talk about no one using lanyards anymore, how recent a change that is and why it is.
Local store has one at $220 carbon fiber s90v. Think i should grab it. Gonna wait a couple of days since i have a hogue Deka and demko ad20.5 s35vn on the way to try out
While I really like the looks, I don't see how they figured that making a mini version of the super freek that costs more was a great idea. I expected the mini to be about $10-20 less, not $70 more than the super freek.
About price, people bitch about the price of the mini super freek, but amazingly quiet about the price of Sebenzas. Sure they look classy, but slick grips, S35vn steel, no steel on the wear points of the frame lock, and over $400?
All the lanyard hate😭...haha who cares. I like lanyards on my knives often. Personal choice. Put in a lanyard option make some people happy or unhappy take it away same thing. Knives are at the end the day just tools. Good review, deep carry and lanyard is my preferred freek and mini freek setup.
I have had both omega springs break on my Bugout after a couple of months after buying them. Bought replacements on Etsy rather than sending it back to Benchmade. The ones I got on Etsy are stronger than the originals.
i got the jade mini freek coming and one of the reasons i chose it was the the pocket clip and lanyard hole lmao. chose it over a few hogues because they cant seem to do a pocket clip right and never have lanyard holes.
I love my super freek. Now the mini is calling me. But then i saw the mini RSK beside it. Thats a tough one. The price and quality of the Hogue along with that great Ritter blade shape tips the scale but theres just something about those red thumb studs and carbon fiber scales! Decisions decisions....
I like the feel on Benchmade s carbon fiber, got that marble feel. I'd best rush right out and snag that one . Of course rushing at my age could mean a couple of months.😁 My omega springs are fine.
if your springs break ( all of my so called real benchmade spring have broken ,5 knives )order a Ganzo that size for the springs that never break ,no matter if you adjust them ( carefully ) .
Love my twisted Paracord lanyards. Easy to see and grab if dropped. Harder to drop it. I can pull the lanyard and knife from my pocket and snap it open in a instant.
21:15 "Do this, same g10 and m4" turns out they listened 3 years latwr, except even pre-order "on sale" they're asking $243-270. If only they listened to your pricing recommendations too 😂
I was gifted the jade limited edition version. Well done knife but getting over the thumbstuds in the cutting path and the BM dual thumbstud opening system bugs the crap out of me.
I never saw the big deal with the Benchmade knives until I bought one then two then three etc... However I can honestly say the knife company Tops also made in the U.S.A is a fantastic knife. I carry the Tops Cat with me when I go outside in the night. I live in a ghetto that's not that bad but just in case my Tops I sincerely trust with my life! The only criticism about my Tops is honestly the sheath. It locks the knife in perfectly but has messed up a lot of my belts so I tuck it inside my belt. The Tops model Cat is not too big and it is built for a regular sized hand but this is one hell of a knife! The price of the Cat is reasonable so check them out you won't be let down.
I absolutely adore my Mini Freek, almost as much as my 940. I won't be getting the 575-1 though ... I really don't see the value there. I wish they'd done these with the G10 scales like the Super Freek, or better yet with CF Elite🤗 I'll just hope and pray that one day the Mini Freek will be in their custom-shop😑 Until then, I'll just make do with my rubbery grips😛
@@gbo887 Nice one! That was a BladeHQ exclusive right? Sadly Benchmade (and ZT) won't allow their US dealers to ship to Europe. I am so happy that Benchmade did finally decide to make the 565BK-02😁
Mini freek is Awesome!! Get Aluminum scales from AWT. ALL COLORS. WITH choice of Back spacer Color. ! Better scales And Under $200..get thumb stud to match Back Spacer From, Benchmade.!!!.
I know I am once again really late to view this. I wanted to add something that may explain the reason for the lanyard hole. We who work in rescue situations especially when we are part of a medevac team and we are transporting casualties a knife that falls loose can be a hazard to everyone on board. So I wanted to add that Benchmade who works with many different individuals try to cover all their needs. So for us we have to carry on a lanyard. To the rest of you a pocket clip is just fine.
One day ill get one of these beauties. I actually ordered red thumb studs for my Super Freek a couple months ago that just came in the other day. They look AMAZING. Think it would look great next to this thing. Great review as always MC! 🤙
One thing i HATE about the obtrusive lanyard holes on a knife like this, is there’s clearly a stand-off right next to it that would work just fine as a lanyard pin, like on the chris reeve inkosis. I really don’t get it.
Yeah I run a lanyard on most of my knives, it facilitates tactical situations and a lanyard is useful in a survival sitrep. Glad you haven’t had that experience I don’t feel sorry for you.
"There are no sharp edges anywhere on this knife"🙃 😁 The price is a bit ridiculous on these compared to other models. I find it hard to believe S90V is that much more expensive than other steels. It's only a $30 upgrade in the custom shop for the Mini Grip, so I guess the rest of the extra cost is for the carbon fiber.
Benchmade has best warranty they send me omega spring, pocket clip, and all scrues because I'm from EU and its chipper to send mee double parts but I haw been really hepy and Benchmade 940 is my EDC . Also 80% of my new knife will be Benchmade
I meant to ask you ( if you ever read this) if you feel Benchmade knives stand up in todays world as still being a top choice? What I mean is you can purchase a knife like Kizers Assassin and have a much smoother as well as quicker deployment for the asking price of I believe around $60.00?

I mean we know flipper knives are actually more popular than an automatic or semiautomatic.
It should come with a deep carry clip and be priced no more than the Super Freek. I put the Rouge CF kit on my original and swapped the clip. It changes the knife completely.
Pretty dismissive of other people and their preferences. I most definitely prefer a lanyard hole and I put lanyards on every single one of my knives. If I'm waist carrying it at 4 o'clock to free up my pockets, having a bit of paracord makes it a lot easier to pull out.
the mini freak clone is $40.00 and it is a good knife ! don't believe benchmade's liehype about steel ( almost no one can tell the difference without labels , I don't believe the label or the liehype ) and I priced these steels and the so called super steel would only raise the production cost like $20.00 ( not $200,00 )without any volume buy discount ! even the so called American made production knives are made by Chinese cnc machines ,I can find no American made cnc machines ( load the blank ,unload the part and assemble ) ! even the so called American made knives are Chinese cnc machine clones ( payments going to China ) ! but the ones from China don't have the greedy butterfly price ( how high could he payment be ?) !!
I know that is made of high lvl materials but I think is highly overpriced. The standard freak and mini freak are cool but for me this knife would be my next purchase if it’s 565-1 with G10 and 90v

$340 now...that's called "inflation"...wait till its $575, then $820...$1060, and a loaf of wholesome organic bread is $43. Still, though, tangible, sustainable assets will be a premium. So, don't be overshadowed by poverty consciousness, just go out and buy one. It just may be the tool that gets you to the other side.
@@xavierjunk1 Really late, but I’d imagine it’s the manufacturing side of things where extra cost comes in. You probably need hermetically sealed rooms (and extra PPE safety equipment) to catch all the CF dust particles because that’s absolutely not something you want in your lungs.
When will people understand. The price of a knife has very little to do with the cost of making it. If your complaining about the price. Then your not the costumer their targeting.
I reread this. The reason I say the price is high is because there are plenty of US competitors using similar materials foe substantially less. I know good and well the materials aren't the only things dictating the price, but all things considered, equally high quality knives are being made here in the US with the exact same materials for less money. This knife is overpriced.
I mean, ya. But that's just my own personal view of it. You're free to think and buy whatever you want for whatever reason you see fit. What would be the point of reviewing knives if I just said "everything is great and totally worth the money"? I'd rather just be honest. I myself have overpaid for tons of knives just because I like them or see more personal value in them. It is what it is.

Actually... it isn't.
Is it the manufacturing process then the expensive part? Why same knives on g10 or FRN are lower priced than Micarta and then way more for CF?

You probably need hermetically sealed rooms (and extra PPE safety equipment) to catch all the CF dust particles because that’s absolutely not something you want in your lungs.
Every knife with a blade bellow 3 inches long should be called whittler.
