Benchmade 15006-01 HUNT fixed blade knife

The Benchmade 15006-1 HUNT Steep Country is an enhanced version of the acclaimed hunting knife, featuring a robust blade crafted from premium S30V steel, a Santoprene handle, and a thermoplastic Boltaron sheath.

Solid Construction:

The Benchmade 15006-1 HUNT Steep Country is a compact fixed-blade knife with a full tang design. This construction method ensures exceptional durability and resistance to damage, making it ideal for demanding tasks required by hunters, survivalists, bushcrafters, and military personnel.

Premium Steel:

The knife boasts a 90mm fixed blade made from American CPM-S30V stainless steel. This high-performance powder steel, produced by Crucible Industries, is hardened to an optimal 58-60 HRC. It offers excellent sharpness retention, high mechanical strength, and significant corrosion resistance. With its elevated vanadium carbide content, CPM-S30V steel is highly resistant to impact and wear, making diamond sharpening stones ideal for maintaining its edge.

Blade Performance:

The blade features a wide, flat-ground profile with a pronounced rounded belly and a utilitarian drop point design. This configuration ensures superb cutting performance and exceptional durability. Cross-milling on both the spine and blade back provides a stable finger rest, enhancing control and precision, which is crucial for tasks like gutting game. The blade’s satin finish adds a classic aesthetic.

Comfortable and Stylish Grip:

The handle of the Benchmade 15006-1 is designed for maximum comfort and reliability. Its dark olive Santoprene grips offer a non-slip surface with a rubbery texture, ensuring a secure hold even in challenging conditions. The handle’s contoured shape and scalloped ribbing enhance grip stability, and a lanyard hole at the back of the handle allows for easy attachment of a thong or paracord.

Modern Sheath:

The knife is secured in a durable Boltaron sheath, a thermoplastic material known for its resistance to damage, temperature fluctuations, and moisture. The bright orange color enhances visibility, making it easier to locate the knife if dropped in grass or underbrush. The sheath is also compatible with the Tek-Lok mounting system for versatile carry options.
