Quality Outdoor Knife.
4 Stars
Quality Outdoor Knife.
The Benchmade name stands true with this knife as well as all the others I own. It is the awesome Benchmade quality that you expect, and get from the US company.The handle: is thick, like you need for prolonged wood working tasks, i.e. camping/bushcrafting. Some reviews complain about the edges of the handle being too square and "sharp" but I did not find this to be uncomfortable. The handle is sturdy, well made, and beautiful.The blade: is razor sharp like you expect and extremely strong. The edge is great for wood working, even for the finer of wood carving tasks when needed. The blade spine is a semi sharp 90° edge which showers great sparks from a good ferrocerium rod. The drop point edge is great to reduce the risk of breaking the tip of the knife blade.The sheath:Is not up to the Benchmade standard. They make wonderful knives, but this sheath is a bit substandard to the Benchmade name. It is a beautiful leather sheath with a good ferrocerium rod loop, but it is not comparably strong to complement the knife that will last year's to come. The stitching is very thin line, and seems that it will be easily able to malfunction. Having a good knife is good, but having a strong secure way to secure it is just as important. If the button snap is undone the knife can easily fall out. As well where the button snap strap is located if you are storing your knife on your belt with one hand seems it could be easily cut by the blade, which would ruin the only way to secure your knife in place. I wanted the leather due to the style of the knife, and the older traditions this knife is used for but I will be replacing my sheath in the future.Over all the knife is a 5 star knife that will be able to be passed down to my son, the sheath get a 3 stars. So that's why the over all is a 4 star review. When you buy a belt knife your way of securing it to your belt IS part of the system, and if it fails the system fails.

This is the sharpest knife I've ever had right out of the box. For my hands the knife feels great. Definitely quality. Wish I had gotten then when they where still being made, when they where 200. 290 was a hefty price. But this looks like the last bush craft knife ill ever need.

5.0 out of 5 stars The new crown jewel of my knife collection.
Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2018

The new crown jewel of my knife collection. It's just a knife, right? No moving parts. Functionality is limited mostly to cutting things. So, why does holding it my hand bring me so much joy? Because it is perfect. The "heft", the way it fits my hand, the balance, materials, all come together to make not just a supremely functional blade, but a work of art. I sincerely cannot come up up with even one tiny criticism. Generally, when I receive a new blade, I immediately take it to my sharpening station and put a better edge on it. I've read reviews from people who downgrade a knife because it didn't arrive to them sharp enough. I always thought this was silly because knives can be sharpened. If you cannot properly sharpen a knife, you have no business owning one. Benchmade not only sent me the most perfect knife I've yet to purchase, but also the sharpest. No trip to my sharpening station needed. It was able to shave hair off of my forearm (which is currently bald from showing friends how well it performs!) with ease with little more than the weight of the knife pushing it. The only possible way I could improve on it would be to polish the bevel, which I will do just for fun. It's a totally unnecessary step usually reserved for wood chisels, but I can't wait to see how it denudes the hair from my other arm when I'm done. I guess that's my one criticism. No polished bevel. Haha! This knife will not sit in a display case. It just became my new EDC and it's going to work. Looking forward to it. There is only one way I will ever have to replace this blade, after it gets stolen. There's another criticism- it is so beautiful, I will not be able to set it down and turn my back on it for a second. So, I know it's expensive, just suck it up and spend the money. Great job Benchmade! This is my first blade from from your company and you lived up to the hype. Btw, to answer the thought running through your head right now after reading this review, I don't work for Benchmade.

This is my standard-carry knife in the back country, not only for camping/backpacking, but for Search & Rescue (in which I am quite active). I'm not afraid of conditions or abuse; this knife can take them all, while remaining sharp. Paired with a proper ferro rod, you can produce a cascade of sparks off the spine of this knife, absolutely safely. It's well weighted, well made, and tough as nails. Spare me the crazy Rambo-style survival knives: this is the knife I want with me, no matter what the situation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bushcraft aside... This is simply an amazing knife
Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2014
Verified Purchase
While I am a huge Benchmade fan, I am not a knife collector. I really only have one other knife: A Benchmade 710. I've had many others, but settled on the 710 5 years ago and haven't looked back (5 years later it looks and functions like new regardless of medium use).

I've long desired to have a quality fixed blade, but not just any would do. In fact, until now I never could find one that I could really drool over. Even the expensive ones felt like the extra money was going toward factors I wasn't interested in.

When I saw this recently online I knew it was the one. My favorite knife company, favorite steel, favorite handle material, ridiculously thick with a blade shape that screams rugged (I feel like I could use this as a prybar)... Quite simply, when you hold this knife it feels like you are holding excalibur. The G-10 scales feel like you could hammer a nail with them. It's really something special when you hold it.

While aesthetics are a personal matter, to me this knife has a timeless look... just beautiful. The handle to blade ratio, the profile, the amazingly robust grip... The grip style and color combined with the sheath make this baby look like it was handed down to you by Mick Dundee. The sheath is amazing by the way...

In my experience, knife specifics other than sharpness, durability, and size (and in some cases, grip style) play only minor roles in performance of various tasks. With that in mind, this is the best knife ever in my opinion for most fixed blade tasks. This may be geared toward "bushcraft", and I have no doubt after reading comments of other viewers that it has some great features for that... but for me it will simply be my excellent fixed blade knife that is useful for a multitude of tasks indoors and out....maybe even bushcraft.

I own many...many knives and this is one of my all time favorites! The quality is superb. Of the bushcraft knives that I own this is tied for my favorite.

Reasons why I love this knife! 1. It's sharp right out of the box...like wicked sharp. The steel keeps its edge very well and I haven't had to do more than brush over it with an ultra fine stone. 2. It's the perfect size for most bushcraft activities. Not just bushcraft...it's a great TOOL. I use it for everything a knife should do. I've even split wood with it. Now it's not huge like some of my other knives...(it's not like a BK9 or A1) it's small enough to carry in my pocket yet big enough for any job. 3. It is the perfect weight. 4. It's cool...yeah I'm a knife geek.

I also have to say the Benchmades customer service is the best around. One of my dogs ate the leather sheath and I called to have it replaced. I expected and was happy to buy a new one but they replaced it for free!
Btw...I love the leather sheath. Looks great with a rustic look and feel. I did oil it a bit. If u want to turn this into a tactical type of blade by the kydex version. Both are great

Finally....if you are debating about buying this knife don't hesitate and go ahead and purchase it. You will not get a better knife in its class...and it's at the top of that class! U get what u pay for and this is the best!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent knife, average sheath. Really recommend!

The knife is great - perfect weight and razor sharp. The back is a sharp 90’ and easy to use with a ferro rod. Overall way better than my Fällkniven S1 Pro.

Only drawback is the sheath that feels average instead of top notch (also it’s not ambidextrous which is annoying as I’m a leftie). I got a new sheath from a guy on Etsy so now I have an excellent sheath for an excellent blade.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tan bueno como su precio?
Reviewed in Spain on March 17, 2023

Cuchillo impecable en su aspecto exterior. El color del mango no corresponde del todo con las fotografías, es aproximado...El agarre perfecto y la hoja contundente. Por el precio, deberían subir a un acero algo más moderno que el s30v, que es muy bueno, pero ya tiene unos años y los pulvimetalúrgicos avanzan muy rápido. La funda lleva una cubierta de plástico en su interior, menos mal, porque el cuero no se ve nada del otro mundo y la protegerá. Lo compré por capricho, por curiosidad...no le discuto la calidad, pero el precio sí. Podría costar 50 euros menos fácil.

Since this is made by Benchmade, you know it's going to be very high quality.
It's stupid-sharp out of the box and feels awesome to hold.
The sheath is aesthetically pleasing, but not terribly practical.
Plus, re-sheathing the knife can be a bit tricky, as the blade can easily skip the plastic sheath insert and cut the leather, which is quite soft.
Since I bought it as a "collectable" it won't bother me.
But, if you plan to "hard-use" this in the field, I'd suggest looking for an aftermarket kydex sheath in order to prevent any accidental slices on the leather one.
This knife doesn't come with a fire-steel, but that can easily be purchased here for a few bucks.
Over-all, I really like the knife and am very happy that I bought it.
