The Deadman's Gun
The high desert is long know for tales of outlaw justice, gunslingin' escapades, and men who roamed the West in search of fortune. The everyday carry of Albuquerque New Mexico's Adam Cadena-Lopez brings that attitude with "The Deadman's Gun" custom artwork created for Adam's go-to blade, the legendary Benchmade Mini Crooked River.

What Benchmade says:
Optimized for everyday carry, the Mini Crooked River compresses the traditional profile of the Crooked River into a pocket-friendly frame, maintaining the fusion of classic-style and modern technology that have made the Crooked River family exceedingly popular not only with hunters, but knife enthusiasts, everyday users, and collectors as well.

CPM-S30V Premium Stainless Steel (58-60 HRC)
First-of-its-kind steel designed specifically for use in knife blades. An excellent balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and durability for a variety of applications.

Stabilized Wood
Infused with resin and far more resistant to temperature changes, moisture, and wear than untreated woods.

Clip Point
Blade contains a sharp beak, typically forward of the midpoint, as if the tip has been "clipped off"

Quinn Knives' take:
The Mini Crooked River is already a favorite of our Quinn Knives customers, and now coupled with Adam's artwork, this knife gets elevated to 'Must Have' status. Everything about this just 'works': the look, feel, and blade performance sync so well and I'm personally happy to have added this to my EDC rotation!
