Benchmade Bedlam® Family: A Tactical Legend Reimagined

The Benchmade Bedlam® Family reimagines a tactical classic defined by its unmistakable scimitar blade profile. Known for its upswept edge and purposeful cutting geometry, Bedlam® is engineered to deliver efficient slicing, confident control, and a bold visual identity. This is tactical design with intent, offering
powerful cutting performance in a folding platform that remains practical for everyday carry.

Aggressive Geometry. Controlled Power.

Every Bedlam® centers around an upswept scimitar blade engineered to excel at draw cuts, controlled slicing, and cutting through resistant materials. The blade geometry provides natural leverage and bite, making it especially effective for tasks that demand speed and efficiency. Paired with Benchmade’s manual AXIS® Lock, Bedlam® offers ambidextrous control, secure lockup, and smooth one-handed operation you can rely on in dynamic situations. Within the lineup, the Mini Bedlam® Black Scimitar is built for hard use, pairing a partially serrated scimitar blade with an aggressively textured G10 handle to deliver secure grip and decisive cutting power during demanding, fast-moving tasks. The Mini Bedlam® Carbon Fiber Scimitar is designed with everyday carry in mind, featuring a lightweight carbon fiber handle for easier pocket carry while retaining the slicing efficiency and controlled performance that define the scimitar blade profile.

Tactical Performance You Can Carry

The Bedlam® Family balances aggressive design with everyday usability, offering a folding knife that feels purpose-built without being oversized or impractical. Designed for users who value cutting authority, grip security, and reliable deployment, these knives are ready for repeated use in demanding conditions.

To keep your Bedlam® performing at its best, Benchmade’s LifeSharp service restores your edge to factory standards whenever needed. And if you’d like help finding the configuration that fits your carry style and intended use, the Knife Finder can help guide you to the right match.
