The Mini Bedlam compresses Benchmade's full-size Bedlam tactical platform into a more carryable footprint without losing the aggressive scimitar geometry that defines the family — a defensive folder built for serious carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCPM-S90V super-steel blade:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.45-inch scimitar, 59-61HRC, Cerakote Black finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScimitar blade profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Continuous curved edge with a high grind, widening toward the tip with a sharp false edge swedge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAXIS® Lock:\u003c\/strong\u003e Benchmade's ambidextrous crossbar lock.

The continuously curved edge maximizes slicing capability through draw cuts, while the high grind and progressively widening blade toward the tip put more material — and more cutting power — where the work happens. For defensive applications and aggressive utility cuts, the scimitar geometry transfers force differently than a drop point or tanto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mini Bedlam scales the platform down to a more carryable size: 5.2-inch closed length, 4.91 ounces. The CPM-S90V super-steel blade with Cerakote Black finish handles hard use and resists corrosion across humid, salt-air, and abrasive environments. G10 scales over a steel frame deliver the rigidity and grip surface that this blade geometry demands under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe split-arrow pocket clip is ambidextrous tip-up, supporting either-hand carry. Combined with the AXIS® Lock — which engages and releases on either side of the handle — the 865SBK runs identically in either hand for operators with off-hand or weapon-side carry requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMechanism\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAXIS® Lock\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Style\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScimitar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCPM-S90V Stainless Steel (59-61HRC)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCerakote, Black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.45\" \/ 8.76cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.114\" \/ 2.9mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOpen Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.63\" \/ 21.92cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClosed Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.2\" \/ 13.21cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.587\" \/ 14.91mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eG10\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Color\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.91oz \/ 139.2g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePocket Clip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSplit-Arrow, Ambidextrous Tip-Up, Black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLanyard Hole\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmbidextrous\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMade in Oregon, USA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBenchmade Lifetime Warranty + LifeSharp service\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy tacticaledge.com Carries It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mini Bedlam earns a spot in the lineup because it pairs Benchmade's most refined lockup mechanism with a serious defensive-grade blade profile in a more EDC-able footprint than the full-size Bedlam. CPM-S90V super-steel, G10 scales, Cerakote finish, and a lifetime warranty backstop the package. For LE and military professionals who want a tactical-class folder for daily carry without going up to a fixed blade or full-size Bedlam, it works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a scimitar blade and why use it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scimitar features a continuously curved edge with a high grind that progressively widens toward the tip. Compared to a drop point or tanto, the curve maximizes slicing capability under draw cuts and the wider tip section concentrates more steel where the work happens. It's a deliberate defensive and aggressive-utility blade profile, not a general utility cutter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Mini Bedlam differ from the full-size Bedlam?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mini Bedlam compresses the platform into a more carryable size with shorter blade and overall length. Same family geometry, more pocket-friendly footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the AXIS® Lock?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBenchmade's proprietary crossbar lock, introduced in 1998. A spring-loaded bar engages a notch in the blade tang to lock the blade open. To close, pull the bar back from either side of the handle and pivot the blade. Ambidextrous, fast, and one of the most refined lockup mechanisms on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does CPM-S90V perform with a Cerakote finish?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eS90V is already corrosion-resistant; Cerakote adds a hard, abrasion-resistant ceramic coating over the steel. The combination is well-suited to humid, salt-air, and high-friction carry environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it ship to APO\/FPO addresses?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. tacticaledge.com ships free to all APO and FPO addresses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is LifeSharp?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBenchmade's free in-house re-sharpening service.
