Benchmade 15017 HUNT knife

The Benchmade 15017 HUNT stands as a compact yet robust hunting knife tailored for skinning and fieldwork, featuring a broad blade crafted from CPM-S30V powder steel, a stabilized wood handle, and a natural leather sheath.

Durable Construction

Crafted with meticulous attention to durability, the Benchmade 15017 HUNT features a compact fixed blade design with full tang construction.

Full tang knives, fashioned from a single piece of steel, boast remarkable resistance to damage and breakage, making them favored tools for heavy-duty tasks by hunters, survivalists, bushcraft enthusiasts, and soldiers alike.

Premium Steel

The knife showcases a 71mm fixed blade meticulously forged from American CPM-S30V stainless steel.

Crucible Industries' S30V powder steel undergoes rigorous hardening to achieve an optimal hardness of 58-60 HRC, ensuring enduring sharpness retention, robust mechanical strength, and remarkable corrosion resistance.

With a high vanadium carbide content, the steel excels in impact and wear resistance, as well as cutting performance. Consequently, we recommend the use of diamond whetstones for sharpening, as they prove more effective than standard ceramic whetstones.

Featuring a satin finish, the blade effectively minimizes glare while accentuating the knife's utilitarian elegance.

A Hunter's Blade

The wide, flat-ground blade boasts a pronounced rounded belly and a utilitarian drop-point profile, ensuring exceptional cutting performance and enhanced damage resistance.

Strategically placed cross-milling on the spine provides a stable support point for the fingers, facilitating comfortable and precise handling—crucial for hunters during game gutting.

The substantial size and 3mm thickness of the blade render the Benchmade 15017 HUNT suitable for diverse outdoor applications, including bushcraft and survival scenarios.

Classic Comfort Grip

The knife's handle, a cornerstone of comfort, boasts stylish facings crafted from stabilized wood meticulously affixed to the bolt.

Stabilized wood, treated with resin during processing, offers enhanced stability, hardness, and resistance to water, humidity, temperature changes, solvents, and acids.

Featuring a striking brown and black grain, the handle perfectly embodies the knife's hunting spirit. The profiled handle shape and scalloped ribbing on the dorsal shank ensure a secure grip during use, with a rear tang hole provided for lanyard or paracord attachment.

Leather Sheath

For secure and convenient carrying at the belt, the knife includes a natural leather sheath closed with a metal fastener.
