Lean, light, and strong. These are the basic parameters Benchmade set for the 748 Narrows, but there's nothing basic about this future-forward folder. Coming in at a svelte 0.28" thick, the titanium handle of the Narrows is one of the slimmest full-size folders Benchmade has ever built, making it one of the most pocketable, space-saving large knife in their lineup. Accordingly, Benchmade has 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 and slicey M390 drop-point blade and the pop of anodized blue hardware, this stylish EDC takes ultralight utility to the extreme.
