Product Description
The Benchmade Mini Infidel 3350BK, designed by Bill McHenry, brings the legendary performance of the iconic Infidel into a more compact, everyday-carry-friendly platform. Built for military personnel, law enforcement, first responders, and discerning collectors, the Mini Infidel delivers the same lightning-fast double-action out-the-front (OTF) deployment in a slimmer, lighter package that’s easy to carry without sacrificing capability.
Its 3.10-inch double-edge spear point blade is crafted from premium D2 tool steel, heat treated to 60–62 HRC for outstanding edge retention and durability. The black-coated blade provides enhanced corrosion resistance while reducing glare, making it ideal for tactical and professional applications. Benchmade’s proven double-action OTF mechanism allows for smooth, rapid deployment and retraction using the ambidextrous thumb slide.
The black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum handle offers exceptional strength while maintaining a lightweight profile of just 3.4 ounces. An integrated cleaning port helps keep the internal mechanism functioning reliably, while the removable deep-carry pocket clip provides discreet tip-down carry. A MOLLE-compatible sheath is also included, giving users multiple carry options for duty gear or field equipment.
Proudly made in the USA, the Mini Infidel has earned its reputation as one of the most refined compact OTF automatic knives available, combining premium materials, precision engineering, and dependable performance.
Note: Automatic knives are subject to federal, state, and local laws. It is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure compliance with all applicable laws before purchasing.

About brand
Benchmade Knife Company, Inc. set-up shop in Clackamas, Oregon in 1990 (originally founded in California in 1988). The initial knives primarily consisted of the Bali-Song knives, using a combination of outside vendors and inside processing to build finished products. And like most companies, starting out meant scarce money and big plans, using second hand equipment and limited resources.
Soon, a natural born fortitude and an undying passion to make it right and make it Benchmade, prospered into significant growth. As the product line grew so did the in-house capabilities. We began to acquire new machines and technologies including the first of several lasers, making Benchmade the first knife manufacturer to have such equipment in-house. Open minds and positive attitudes would lead to several more industry firsts over the course of the next several years.
This was only the beginning of Benchmade's breaking of new ground in the manufactured knife markets by using non-traditional materials and modern manufacturing methods in not only building knives better but, inevitably building better knives. The Designer Series was first introduced in 1991 with several custom designs being manufactured. By tapping into the custom knife makers' knowledge and combining it with our manufacturing expertise we were more readily able to offer more contemporary knife designs and innovations to the knife users.
Consecutive years of aggressive growth led to the next logical step in 1996 when Benchmade moved into its own 35,000 sq. ft. facility. A contemporary styled building complete with all of the modern equipment and amenities necessary to manufacture what has become recognized as a higher standard of specialty cutlery.
Today, Benchmade Knife Company, Inc. manufactures knives for a loyal and ever growing following of knife users. As we move into the 21st century we are poised for even more exciting opportunities, innovations and ongoing total world-class quality. Here at Benchmade we employ a simple philosophy- 'Make it cool, make it solid, make it happen and definitely make it Benchmade.'
