Streamlined Pocketable Knives

Benchmade Introduces the Mini Bedlam with a Bold Design Aesthetic

Benchmade Bedlam introduces a look at its latest product in the form of the Mini Bedlam. It is essentially a more compact version of the full-sized Bedlam, which is a large and aggressive tactile knife. The silhouette is defined by dramatic curves and a blade inspired by a Perisian scimitar.

The brand reimagined the knife in a form that could fit into a pocket. The Mini Bedlam is not particularly small in any form however as it is 8.63 inches overall with a blade measuring 2.45 inches. It is compact in comparison to its 10-inch variation. The blade is great for day to day usage and has been upgraded to a CPM S90V steel, which ensures edge retention and toughness.
