With a lightweight sheath designed for packing not belt carrying, and a santoprene handle that both provides excellent grip and makes clean up a breeze, this knife is built for work. The jimping and grip points near the blade tip provide excellent control over the blade regardless of the cut you’re making. And with a full belly, the blade design allows you to make a wide range of cuts on multiple types of game. From waterfowl to deer, this knife is a great go-to for all your hunting tasks and is just as useful handling the camp chores.\n\nI have several Benchmades that are gorgeous safe queens of the collection. This knife is not that. This knife is like my pointing lab, purpose built with incredible versatility and the ability to exceed expectations no matter what you ask of it. \n\nGet one.
