When is the 748 dropping?

[Jcsixx01]

I recently signed up for the 748 preorder on Bladehq. I was apprehensive at first r/t the price for a benchmade. Decided to pull the trigger because the Anthem was a home run. I just hope that there is significant quality control for this release.

Thin profiles are the most important spec for me. A knife has to be exceptional if it is thicker than .45”.
The crazy slim design of this guy was too irresistible to pass up.

When should I anticipate getting my hands on it?

According to the Benchmade 2023 catalog, (viewable here), the 748 Narrows has an expected release date of June.

Thanks for the info. That seems pretty far off to be doing a preorder from a production knife company.

Tell that to the people that pre-ordered the Immunity last year.

I’m a medical professional…probably not the person you want to engage on the matter.

I’m a bit jaded at this point. Essentially Darwinism in action.

You do know that the Immunity is a family of pocket knife models (Full, Partial, and Auto) by Benchmade that was supposed to have been released last year, right? I wasn't making a joke about health or medicine, but about pre-ordering knives that get delayed.

No. I wasn’t aware. Lol.

I at the point where my collecting is beyond most production stuff unless it is something exceptional so I haven’t been keeping up with the newest releases from BM, Spyderco, ZT (come to think of it, it has been a long time since anything new from ZT).

I figured if they drop something awesome I’ll hear about it here or IG.

Lol. My bad.

Whoa what a neat knife! I alternate between a 530 and a Bradley Alias for edc and this looks like a mashup of the two. Thanks for the info! Wish it wasn’t so dang expensive though.

Looks like the 748 is available at knife center right now. I love me some Benchmade but damn its like model number is basically the same as the price
