Advanced CPM MagnaCut Blade Steel

The 68 mm blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut powder steel, recognized for its exceptional corrosion resistance, toughness, and edge retention. By reducing chromium carbides within its structure, MagnaCut achieves a fine microstructure that allows easier sharpening while maintaining high wear resistance.

With a hardness rating of 60–62 HRC, CPM MagnaCut blends strength, stainless performance, and long-lasting sharpness, making it ideal for aquatic and outdoor applications.

The blade features a matte Stonewash finish that effectively hides scratches from regular use. Extensive jimping along the spine improves thumb traction, enhancing precision and control during detailed cutting tasks.

Secure and Comfortable Grip

The handle is made from deep blue Santoprene®, a durable, rubber-like material known for its slip-resistant properties. This ensures a firm and safe grip even when hands are wet or dirty.

An integrated lanyard hole at the base of the ergonomically shaped handle allows attachment of a rope or paracord, helping prevent accidental loss during marine or outdoor activities.

Durable Sheath for Safe Carry

The knife comes with an injection-molded thermoplastic sheath that offers high resistance to impact, temperature changes, and moisture. The sheath features a practical attachment clip, allowing secure carry on belts, pockets, backpacks, or other outdoor gear.

The Benchmade 18050S Intersect is an excellent choice for those seeking a lightweight, corrosion-resistant fixed blade made from premium materials and designed for reliable performance in water-focused environments.
