The first new variant of the Narrows knife has been announced with the unveiling of the Benchmade Narrows Black Titanium Drop-Point. This is a lightweight blade deploying a titanium handle and fixtures for that feathery push on the scale and strength to boot. With the Benchmade Narrows Black Titanium, this marks 2 knives in this growing series with its original counterpart being of a Super Premium Stainless Steel and a naked finish.

I love sleek, slim, and lightweight knives because no one wants their tools to weigh them down even if it is something as simple as their EDC pocket knife. I’m sure the Benchmade Narrows Black Titanium Drop-Point will find its way into a lot of people’s collections. As always, let us know all of your thoughts about Benchmade in the Comments below!
