Product Description

The Benchmade Narrows 748BK-01 is the all-black configuration of the full-size Narrows — M390 powder-metallurgy stainless with a DLC coating, black anodized titanium scales, in the same slim AXIS Lock format as the 748, for buyers who want the Narrows platform in a unified low-reflectivity presentation.

The blade is M390, Böhler-Uddeholm's premium stainless that outperforms CPM-S30V and CPM-S35VN in edge retention and wear resistance. The DLC coating adds surface hardness, reduces friction during deployment, and brings reflectivity to near zero — the same blade spec as the gray 748, with the black anodized titanium handle providing a uniform all-black carry profile. Where the 748's stonewash gray titanium reads as natural and understated, the 748BK-01's black anodized titanium reads as deliberately tactical and low-profile — the correct choice for buyers who prioritize a uniform all-black presentation. Titanium scales remain lighter than steel and stronger than aluminum at approximately 3.07 oz. AXIS Lock deploys and closes one-handed from either side; reversible tip-up titanium clip for ambidextrous carry.
