Benchmade Bushcrafter knife designed for the outdoors

Bushcrafter was designed by Shane Sibert, a knifemaker specializing in fixed-head knife designs. The Benchmade knife was made from a single piece of steel - a full Tang construction (full pin).

The blade in the knife with a Drop Point profile is a versatile working design that will work well for all kinds of camp work and more. The satin-finished blade is made of American stainless steel CPM-S30V.

Crucible Industries' S30V powder steel is hardened to optimum hardness 58-60 HRC, therefore, it maintains high sharpness for a long time, has high mechanical strength, and is also resistant to corrosion.

Thanks to its high vanadium carbide content, the steel is distinguished by its high impact strength and wear resistance, as well as its excellent cutting properties.
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 Bushcrafter fixed-head knife uses durable and ergonomic handle linings made of green G10 composite, which is characterized by high durability and resistance to moisture and high temperatures.

The facings were fixed with titanium sleeves, and red spacers were used between the facings and the pin.

The knife fits securely in the hand and is designed for comfortable, long-term work. Additionally the rider protects the user from accidental slipping of the hand on the cutting edge of the blade.

In the back of the handle, the manufacturer has placed a hole for attaching a rope or paracord tag.

Benchmade knife included with functional sheath

The user along with the survival knife receives a leather sheath allowing the knife to be carried comfortably and safely on the belt.

The Bushcrafter is secured against accidental loss with a tension loop, which also ensures that the knife sits firmly in the sheath. On the side of the sheath there is an attachment handle for carrying a survival flint, which will make it easier for us to light a fire in the field.

Benchmade Bushcrafter is a design for people who are looking for a high-quality fixed-head knife suitable for heavy and demanding work.
With it, we'll easily be able to bar wood in the woods to build a shelter or cook a meal on the trail.
