Crucible Industries LLC's latest tool steel CPM-Cruwear hardened to a hardness as high as 63-65 HRC. With excellent wear resistance and strength, CPM-Cruwear can be described as a steel with twice the performance of the original D2 steel. The new formula is enriched with vanadium, tungsten and molybdenum additives, which give the steel exceptional wear resistance and allow high hardening. When choosing a knife made of such steel, it is worth getting a diamond sharpener, as sharpening with a standard ceramic whetstone can be very labor-intensive and inefficient.
Benchmade 15600OR Raghorn - hunting skinning knives
The blade is coated with orange Cerakote paint, which provides additional protection against corrosion and makes it easier to clean the blade from the sweat. The wide blade with a full flat grind has a distinctively rounded belly, which, combined with the utilitarian drop point profile, provides excellent cutting performance and high durability against damage. Cross-milling has been made on the back and front of the back to 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.
Thanks to technology SelectEdge 28° (14° per side) the knife has a thin, perfectly sharp cutting edge that perfectly handles skinning and dehorning of harvested game. Raghorn guarantees extremely clean and precise cutting, which makes game processing much easier and takes less time. To reduce the weight of the knife, lightweight carbon fiber, valued for its mechanical strength, weather resistance and elegant style, was used for the linings. A stable grip on the knife is guaranteed by the profiled shape of the handle and the ribbing of the dorsal part of the shank. There is a hole in the back of the shank that allows for the insertion of a cord, lanyard or thong.
For safe carrying of the knife there is a boltaron sheath, thermoplastic material with high resistance to damage, temperature and moisture. The case is compatible with the TekLok mount. Heat-molded sheath keeps the knife stable and protects it from being lost. 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.
Benchmade 15600OR Raghorn offers everything we expect from an ideal hunting knife: lightweight and comfortable design, premium steel with impressive hardness, and a perfectly sharp cutting edge that lasts unrivaled for a long time.

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.
