Benchmade, one of the biggest knife companies in the US, created the new 756 mPR Micro Pocket Rocket that is [small yet reliable](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cuttix).

The new product has an overbuilt [monolock folder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/benchmade-593bk-psk) with a thin 2.9-inch cut blade, making it the shortest blade the brand has ever created. The knife offers a flipper tab to add versatility and allow easy one-handed use. The brand used premium 20CV steel with a plain edge for the blade, while the handle is made from a [lightweight titanium](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/syncrablade) designed to go almost completely unnoticed in any pocket. The knife has an overall light silver shade, adding a pop of color with a light blue button on the side.

The new 756 mPR Micro Pocket Rocket from Benchmade will be available online soon, retailing for $400.
