If a speedy deployment is at the top of your list when considering a new knife, this offering by Benchmade is definitely worth your attention. Joining Benchmade’s select OTF lineup, the Mini Infidel takes everything that made the original Benchmade Infidel great, and shrinks it down to a more pocketable size. Despite having a reduced footprint, the Mini Infidel’s blade remains a significant 3.1“, made out of durable D2 steel and featuring a spearpoint shape for added proficiency during piercing tasks.
Once retracted, the knife measures in at only 4”, and with its pocket clip can carry comfortably inside most pockets. The handles are made out of T-6061 aluminum, keeping things sturdy and lightweight. These handles also feature a “stepped” design to prevent the knife from slipping away from your hands. Finally, a front sliding switch takes care of deployment in a more comfortable and convenient way, compared to other OTF knives that feature a side switch. Pick one up at the link below.
