Crucible Industries LLC's latest tool steel, CPM-Cruwear, hardened to a hardness as high as 63-65 HRC, was used in the construction of the blade. 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 for 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.

The blade is coated with orange Cerakote paint, which provides additional protection against corrosion and makes it easier to clean the blade from the slime. The wide blade with a full flat grind has a distinctly rounded belly, which, combined with the utilitarian drop point profile, provides excellent cutting performance and high resistance to damage. Cross-milling has been made on the back and front of the spine to create a stable point of support for the fingers. This simple convenience allows the knife to be handled comfortably and accurately, which is crucial for a hunter when gutting game.
Thanks to the 28° SelectEdge technology (14° per side), the knife has a thin, perfectly sharp cutting edge that perfectly handles the skinning and dehorning of harvested game. Raghorn guarantees an extremely clean and precise cut, making the processing of game much easier and taking 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 facings. 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 handle that allows for the insertion of a cord, lanyard or thong.
For safe carrying of the knife there is a sheath made of Boltaron, a thermoplastic material with high resistance to damage, temperature and moisture. The sheath is compatible with the TekLok mount. The thermo-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 among the grass or undergrowth and increases our visibility during a group hunt.
TheBenchmade 15600OR Raghorn offers everything we've come to expect from the perfect hunting knife: a lightweight and comfortable design, premium steel with impressive hardness, and a perfectly sharp cutting edge that lasts an unbeatable length of time.
