What Benchmade says:
Ultra-thin, incredibly lightweight, and extremely strong, the low profile 748BK-01 Narrows pushes the boundary of EDC style and performance with futuristic, minimalist design, premium materials, and high-tech engineering. The all-black dark variant balances matte and polished details with matte black DLC Titanium handle scales mixed with a polished black DLC M390 drop-point blade and polished black DLC pivot and pocket clip. The 748BK-01 utilizes our Torsion AXIS mechanism and thrust bearings for buttery smooth blade actuation. This precision EDC is beyond imagination.

M390 Super Premium Stainless Steel (HRC 58-61)
A super-performance blade steel with exceptional cutting ability, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance.

6AI-4V Titanium
Strong as steel with half the weight. This aerospace-grade super-material is challenging to machine, but well worth the effort. Sourced in the USA.

Drop Point
Drops off the spine to the tip. Tip height is typically below the center line on the blade.

Quinn Knives' take:
Straight up, this is the smoothest Benchmade we've ever handled. The blade just pivots so nicely in and out of the ultra-thin handle. You'll find yourself walking around just opening and closing the knife over and over due to the crisp action... Past that fun stuff, the Narrows brings the goods. While at first glance you'd think it couldn't handle tough tasks, the choice in using 6AI-4V titanium with M390 steel means this knife can take it, while still being ridiculously light and thin. A very slick everyday carry option to add into the rotation.
