BENCHMADE Steep Country Hunter

From hunters to hunters

The model is initially positioned as a hunting knife. It is built to handle any job that animal shooting enthusiasts may face. Indeed, with the help of a blade, you can set up a camp, and skin the prey, and open a can of stew, and even butcher the carcass, including the bones. The blade made of S30V steel (one of the best for knives) and a comfortable handle help in this. In fact, in front of you is a classic camping knife with which you can chop, cut and prick.

born skinner

The main thing to note is the presence of special stops for using the knife when skinning. Firstly, there are notches on the handle for a side grip. Secondly, additional notches on the blade near the tip. The descents of the cutting edge are straight and the convergence is narrow enough to cut effectively. At the same time, the blade cannot be called thin or light, but rather massive and wide, which also helps with skinning.

Doesn't slip

The handle is made of plastic with a clear non-slip texture, a wide guard and notches along the entire length. It lies comfortably in the hand, and it is difficult to drop it even when cutting the carcass, and getting blood, fat or other substances on the handle. The same can be said about water - even when fully immersed, the blade does not slip. The blade, by the way, is not afraid of moisture at all.

Don't forget about beauty

The design was assembled according to the fulltang system, i.e. The handle is simply pressed onto the blade shank. This makes it almost impossible to break the knife. And note the steel bulges on the upper edge of the handle. They are part of the shank and form a beautiful ridge that makes the look of the knife stylish and eye-catching. This element can also be used as an additional finger rest, although the edges of each scallop are well licked.
