Hunting Knife Saddle Mountain Skinner Drop-Point Fixed Full-Tang CPM-S30V Steel 58-60 HRC Benchmade 15002

High quality Saddle Mountain Skinner knife for hunting and outdoor use by Benchmade, one of the most recognizable brands among bushcraft enthusiasts who require the best parameters and elegant style from their knives. The use of a durable full tang construction, CPM-S30V powder steel and a comfortable handle made of stabilized wood will allow for practical use of the knife during hunting and any other outdoor activities.

Durable S30V powder steel from Crucible Industries

In the Benchmade Saddle Mountain Skinner hunting knife, the manufacturer has used powder stainless steel CPM-S30V, hardened to an optimal hardness of 58-60 HRC. S30V steel, thanks to the high content of vanadium carbides, is characterized by extremely high abrasion resistance, which means that the knife keeps its sharpness for a long time. In addition, it gives the entire structure the appropriate mechanical strength and corrosion resistance required for use in difficult conditions.

Due to the high impact strength and abrasion resistance, it is recommended to use diamond whetstones for sharpening knives made of CPM-S30V steel, as sharpening with a standard ceramic whetstone may prove to be too laborious.

Universal Drop Point blade shape

High cutting parameters and high resistance to damage in the Saddle Mountain Skinner model have been achieved by combining the useful drop point profile with a wide blade with a flat cut and a clearly rounded belly. Transversal millings, located on the front and back of the spine, create a secure point of support for the fingers, allowing the user to more precise manipulate the knife, e.g. when gutting or skinning game.

Hunting and bushcraft knife

The large-sized blade and the blade width of 3 mm make the knife also suitable for outdoor applications, e.g. during bushcraft or survival. In addition, the blade has a Stonewashed matte finish (a bath in abrasive stones), which effectively masks any scratches or abrasions caused during use.

Full tang construction and comfortable handle made of stabilized wood

The hunting character is perfectly emphasized by the grip covers with stylish brown and black graining. They are made of stabilized wood soaked in resin, which ensures material stability, high hardness, resistance to water, changes in humidity and temperature, as well as the action of many solvents and acids. They are attached directly to the tang with screws, creating a full tang construction, thus increasing the resistance of the entire knife to any mechanical damage and making it suitable for heavier camp work. In the back of the grip there is a hole for a thong or paracord.

Leather sheath included

Along with a fixed-blade knife, the manufacturer provides a sheath made of natural leather, which perfectly matches the wooden covers and the classic design of a hunting knife. The sheath can be attached to the belt of trousers or a backpack, and a metal latch prevents the knife from falling out.
