Putting the mighty Benchmade Bushcrafter to the test. This knife is one of my favourite all round survival knives. Firemaking, feathersticks, chopping, skinning you name it and this one can do it.
Thank you for actually showing how this knife does with animal skinning. I'm not a hunter but it was good to see how it handled that task if I ever needed to. Had this knife for many years. Thanks
Great review. Skinning and breaking down game was making me leery of buying a "bushcraft" style knife. Thanks for talking about it, just bought the 162.
Very good video. Nice to see the skinning added too. I have one of these and I like it a lot. I agree with your comments. It does a good job for all-around use, and without having a extra long blade.
The handle with front and rear guards and great overall fit.. Steel gets real sharp and slashes vines, branches and even small trees easily. The Steel takes a bit to get sharp, but it has good edge retention. Thick spin = very strong. The ballance is not like a machete since the weight is more on the handle than the blade end. Overall I was very impressed with the knife.
Love the knife, HATE the sheath. For what they’re charging, it’s unforgivable that they didn’t include the dangler. Replaced it with a sheath I got from LT Wright.
Excellent video my friend,my wife is getting me the Falkniven F1 for my birthday,I think I'll change to the Benchmade,what calibre rifle was that you have looked like a Sako 270.Greetings from Ireland,stay safe young man.
