Benchmade - Knife 15017-1 HUNT

The Benchmade 15017-1 HUNT Hidden Canyon Hunter is an upgraded version of the highly regarded hunting knife, featuring a massive blade made of excellent S90V steel, a handle made of natural Richlite laminate and a sheath made of thermoplastic Boltaron.

Robust tool for heavier work

The Benchmade 15017-1 HUNT Hidden Canyon Hunter is a small fixed blade knife with a full tang.

Knives made from a piece of steel (solid shank) are resistant to damage and breakage, so they are commonly used for heavier by hunters, survival and bushcraft enthusiasts and soldiers.

The knife has a a fixed blade of 71 mm in length, made of elite CPM-S90V stainless steel, which is subjected to optimal hardening for edc knives to a hardness of 59-61 HRC.

CPM-S90V is a luxury stainless steel with very high vanadium and carbon content, which make the blade stay sharp for a long time, highly resistant to abrasion and corrosion.

When choosing a hard-steel knife, get a diamond sharpener, as sharpening with a standard ceramic whetstone can be very labor-intensive and inefficient.

The wide blade with a flat grind has a distinctively rounded belly, which, combined with the usable drop point profile provides excellent cutting performance and high resistance to damage.

On the back and front of the back, there is a transverse milling, which create a stable point of support for the fingers. This simple convenience allows the knife to be handled comfortably and accurately, which for the hunter is crucial when gutting game.

The blade has a satin finish (polished) giving the knife a classic style.

The knife's portability and comfort combined with high quality steel and a perfectly sharp cutting edge make the Benchmade 15017-1 HUNT a reliable friend for the hunter.

Comfortable and steel handle

The element that is responsible for the comfort of the knife is, of course, its handle.

The knife has stylish richlite laminate facings attached to the shank with screws. Richlite is a durable laminate made from recycled resin infused paper and natural pulp.

The handle has beautiful brown and black grain, which contrast strikingly with orange insert of G10 laminate.

A stable grip on the knife is guaranteed by profiled shape of the handle and scalloped ribbing of the dorsal part of the shank. There is a hole in the back of the grip designed for a thong or paracord.

Bright orange Boltaron scabbard

For safe carrying of the knife, there is a sheath made of Boltaron, a thermoplastic material highly resistant to damage, temperature and moisture. The bright orange color scheme makes it easier to find a knife left in the midst of grass or undergrowth and increases our visibility during a harvest hunt. The case is compatible with the Tek-Lok mount.
