Benchmade Bushcrafter knife designed for field work
The 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 - Full Tang (full shank) construction.
Crucible Industries LLC's latest tool steel - CPM-Cruwear hardened to a hardness as high as 63-65 HRC- was used for the construction of the head. 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.
The blade, with a Drop Point profile and a length of 111 mm, is coated with a black Cerakote coating, which protects against minor scratches and emphasizes the tactical character of the knife.
Comfortable handle in the Benchmade Bushcrafter knife from the offer of the Flask store.
The Bushcrafter fixed-head knife uses durable and ergonomic handle linings made of black carbon fiber, which features high durability and moisture resistance.
The liners were fixed with titanium sleeves, and red spacers were used between the liners and the bolt.
The knife fits securely in the hand and is designed for comfortable, long-term work. In addition, the hilt 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 comes with a functional sheath
Along with the EDC knife, the user receives a she ath made of plastic for comfortable and safe carrying of the knife on the belt.
The sheath has been adapted to carry the knife on the belt vertically or horizontally. On the side of the sheath there is an attachment handle for carrying a survival flint, which will make it easier to light a fire in the field.
TheBenchmade 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 will easily be able to baton wood in the woods to build a shelter or prepare a meal on the trail.
