Already own a 162 Bushcrafter and bought a custom pair of these mostly for the handle color. Unfortunately the older one is still a better knife imo. Not only are the new handles smaller in general(ok, different design, whatever I get it) but because[I assume] they are stonewash finish, the G10 handles are not finish-sanded to the knife, and the tang protrudes from the G10 material on all sides. (It’s visible in ONE picture from this site. . we’re talkin a couple millimeters but it makes the handle feel rough in your hand). Albiet, the knives are still even and well made but not at all what I was expecting being as I already own the older version of the same exact knife. The 162’s handle’s feeling is one of the best things about it. In my humble opinion, Benchmade missed the mark here. It has a couple nice features that are superior to the 162(the fire-starter notch is a nice touch) but make sure you hold one in your hand before dropping $800 on a custom pair of them. Went down the 3 stars because for $400/per knife, people on here giving 5 stars after they cut an onion once saying “cuts well” lol. I use the heck out of my benchmades (still love you guys btw) but hands-down, the changes you made on this knife (minus the handle color, and fire-notch which I love) certainly did not make the tool better for its intended purposes. Sheath is better too but that’s not saying much as all and we both know it.","textLength":1459,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":false,"autoModerated":false,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":0,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":"Gabe","firstName":null,"lastName":null,"emailAddress":null,"externalId":null,"city":null,"state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":null,"purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2025-09-19T00:00:00-04:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[],"syndication":{"sourceName":"Benchmade","siteUrl":"https://www.benchmade.com/","logoUrl":"https://images.turnto.com/site/syndicationlogos/4208_LH48.png"},"catalogItems":[{"sku":"3973-163-1","title":"Benchmade 163-1 Bushcrafter Knife","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/3973-163-1","category":"hunting-knives-tools-hunting-knives","reviewCount":27,"ratingCount":27,"averageRating":4.8,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":0,"2":0,"3":1,"4":3,"5":23},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":6759041,"locale":"en_US","rating":5,"title":"Excellent present","text":"Got this knife for Father’s Day and I love it .
