Benchmade Crooked River - Collection Selection No.65

The Benchmade Crooked River is a bowie or clip point bladed folding knife. The S30v blade came evenly ground and very sharp from the factory and rockets out of the handle with a nudge on the thumb studs and uses the Axis lock to stay in open. This one has the Diamond Wood handles scales, which lend to its classic vibe. The other standard model comes with gray G10 scales, an odd choice, in my opinion, given the over all gray/silver look of the knife. This is a great "do everything" knife and with its diminutive stablemate, the Mini Crooked River, is destined to be a classic in the Benchmade lineup.
