Benchmade Mini Bushcrafter knife designed for outdoor work
The Mini 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.
The knife's Drop Point profile blade is a versatile working design that will work well for all kinds of camp work and more. The satin-finished blade is made of American CPM-S30V stainless steel.
Crucible Industries' S30V powder steel is hardened to an optimal hardness of 58-60 HRC, so it maintains high sharpness for a long time, has high mechanical strength, and is also resistant to corrosion.
Thanks to its high vanadium carbide content, the steel is distinguished by its high impact and wear resistance, as well as its excellent cutting properties.
When choosing a hard steel knife, get a diamond sharpener, as sharpening with a standard ceramic whetstone can be very labor-intensive and inefficient.
Comfortable handle on the Benchmade Mini Bushcrafter 165-1 knife
The Mini Bushcrafter fixed-head knife uses durable and ergonomic handle linings made of green G10 composite, which features high durability and resistance to moisture and heat.
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.
The Benchmade knife comes with a functional Mini Bushcrafter sheath.
Along with the EDC knife, the user receives a leather sheath that allows the knife to be carried comfortably and safely on the belt.
The Mini Bushcrafter is protected from accidental loss by a loop with a tensioning device, which also ensures stable seating of the knife in the sheath. On the side of the sheath there is an attachment for carrying a survival flint, which will make it easier to light a fire in the field.
The Benchmade Mini Bushcrafter is a design for people who are looking for a high-quality fixed-head knife suitable for heavy and demanding work.
