CPM-154 powder steel
Benchmade 15505 Meatcrafter is a lightweight fixed (fixed head) with a full tang design. Knives made from a single 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 thin blade (2.3 mm) with a length of 154 mm, made of made of hard CPM-154 powder steel with a hardness of 58-61 HRC. CPM-154 is a stainless steel with a high content of carbon, chromium and molybdenum, which provides an ideal balance between corrosion and wear resistance, strength and hardness Thanks to such properties, CPM-154 steel is the ideal material for a hunting knife for skinning, a kitchen knife and an outdoor knife.
The Benchmade 15505 Meatcrafter uses a Trailing Point type blade. A characteristic feature of such a blade is a slightly raised tip above (or in line with) the back of the knife. Elalstic head modeled after oriental scimitars, it has a blade with a clearly exposed belly, which contributes to excellent performance and ease of cutting. Thanks to SelectEdge™ 28° technology (14° per side), the knife has a thin, perfectly sharp cutting edge that excels at precision cutting, slicing, filleting and boning meat. As a result, the 15505 Meatcrafter guarantees extremely clean cuts and causes us to put much less force into the work we do.

The contoured grip has cross-grooving and a hook for a safety cable. Loss of the knife in the field is also prevented by the bright orange coloring of the handle, which makes it easy to find the knife even in dense vegetation.

List of knife safety warnings based on requirements
Regulation (EU) 2023/988 on general product safety
(GPSR):
* Risk of injury: Use the knife carefully and always hold it by the handle. The blade is
very sharp and can cause serious cuts. Don't try to catch a falling
knife.
* Safe storage: the knife should be stored in a safe
place, out of reach of children and unauthorized persons. Use a blade guard if
is available.
* Use as intended: Do not use the knife for purposes for which it is not
intended, for example, for opening cans or loosening screws. This can lead to
knife damage or injury.
* Caution when cleaning: Use caution when cleaning the knife,
to avoid cuts. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents that can
damage the blade.
* Blade maintenance: Sharpen the blades regularly to keep them in good condition. Blunt
knives are more dangerous than sharp ones because they require more force, which
increases the risk of slipping.
* Transporting the knife: When transporting the knife, make sure the blade is secured,
for example, by using a vagina or sheath. This prevents accidental injuries.
* Keep your knife clean: Clean the knife regularly to remove any food debris
or other contaminants. This ensures safe and hygienic use.
* Do not modify the knife: Do not try to modify the knife or repair it yourself,
if you don't have the right skills. This can lead to damage to the knife
or injuries.
* Warning for children: knives are intended for adults only. Do not allow
children to use knives without supervision.
* Disposal: Dispose of used or damaged knives in a safe manner to
prevent accidental cuts.
This product is for adults only, who have knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can lead to serious injury. The blade of the knife is very sharp and can quickly cut through skin and tissues; so always be very careful when slicing and do not bring your hand close to the cutting edge. To avoid slipping of the knife, it is recommended to cut on a stable and non-slip surface and avoid excessive pressure, which can cause uncontrolled movement of the blade.
Be aware that leaving a knife on the edge of a table, countertop or in easy-to-reach places, especially for children, is a danger. The knife should always be properly secured after finishing work, preferably by putting it down on a stable surface or storing it in specially designed blocks, sheaths or on magnetic strips. Never use a knife for tasks for which it is not intended, such as opening cans or using it as a lever, as this risks both damage to the tool and dangerous accidents.
Blunt blades pose an increased risk of injury because they require more force and tend to slip off the material being cut. Therefore, care should be taken to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. It is also necessary to clean and dry the tool regularly to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. It is recommended to periodically inspect the condition of the handle and blade to detect any cracks, chipping or loosening. If damage is found, the knife should be immediately repaired or replaced with a new copy.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand, avoid talking on the phone or watching TV while slicing, and make sure your work area is well-lit. You are reminded that in some countries or regions there are laws restricting the possession and carrying of knives. Before buying or using a knife, it's a good idea to make sure that using it in your location is allowed under the current law.
Adherence to the above rules will enable safe and efficient use of the knife, minimizing the risk of accidents and ensuring the long life of the tool.
