Benchmade Mini Crooked River Gold Class Damasteel Raffir Inlaid Marbled Carbon Fiber AXIS Folding Hunter 15085-201

The Crooked River is a popular folding hunter from the Benchmade and the Mini Crooked River offers the same design in an everyday carry platform. Now available in a Limited Edition Gold Class model, this Mini Crooked River offers the same great design in an elevated, gentleman’s carry style. This version comes with a Vinland pattern Damasteel blade, Marbled Carbon Fiber handles with Raffir Alume Yellow Moon inlays, Smoke Gray PVD liners and clip and Brass hardware.

Brand new, direct from Benchmade Knives, USA.

Blade: The clip point profile blade is made from Vinland pattern Damasteel, a premium modern Damascus, which delivers well-balanced performance and a striking look. The clip point blade is a classic profile that provides both the fine point and sweeping belling that make it a time tested choice for hunting and everyday cutting tasks. Phosphor bronze washers make for fast, smooth one-handed deployment via the dual thumb studs, even in gloves.

Handle: Built on a robust, skeletonized stainless steel liner platform the handle offers a rock solid platform for the AXIS lock mechanism, supplying ambidextrous operation and exceptionally secure lockup. Over the Smoke Gray PVD coated liners are beautiful, contoured Marbled Carbon Fiber handle scales with striking Raffir Alume Yellow Moon inlays. A generous hole at the end of the ergonomic handle is provided for lanyard attachment and construction is completed with complementary black hardware and brass pivot collar and barrel spacers to match the thumb studs.

Carries via a reversible (tip-up), Smoke Gray PVD coated, stainless steel deep carry clip.

Damasteel: A high hardness, high corrosion resistant steel that combines two martensitic stainless steels – RWL34 and PMC27 – in unique patterns that, when etched, create the designs seen in the blade. Damasteel delivers a blade that is very eye-catching and has performance in the realm of RWL34, similar to CPM154.
