Benchmade Bushcrafter 162 Quick Review 

I love saber and flat grinds. I think they’re the most attractive. Sometimes I like the looks of a scandi but it really depends on the knife. Enzo trapper and some of the Helle knives look nice. I think the ricasso can really affect the looks of the knife in a negative way but Benchmade did an excellent job here. I love how it tapers behind the choil. I think this knife is one of the most attractive production knives around

Yeah man I have one too.. and my guy, it's just my cup of tea. Its been at our little hardware store for years and years. And I came in today and it was price dropped to 150... I couldn't hold back anymore. . It's perfect in every way . On par with any custom knife I've ever handled.. I don't like scandi grinds. This thing just gives me the fizz. I can't find a blemish or an uneven line. It's perfect.

Fantastic knife, just got one and its solid

Mines out for delivery! Can’t wait to take it into the woods. Hope it performs better then the ESEE mil3 I got. ESEE was a bit to small for wood work, and honestly it seemed to go dull just cutting food. I got a real sharpening stone so hopefully that makes the ESEE a better knife. Plus its almost impossible to get a spark of the ridges of the ESEE with the powder coating. Plus the ESEE started rusting on the second camp trip.

It is a sabre grind with drop point.

Still got mine. Do hear negative, than it does rock. Solid. “ 🙏 “

Nice review! Thanks. :)

I agree, nice review. I've owned this knife for five years and have bashed the crap out of it and it certainly stands up to it's name and value. S30V is certainly not a field sharpen metal, but you can knock of any burrs reasonably easily.

Anyways. Awesome knife. Nice review.

Love my 162 , can’t imagine a better knife , seems to me they got the design from the knife bear grylls used on man vs wild , which is cool with me , that knife was hand made and $500 , so this one at $200 is cool with me ! 👍

you are funny how you advertising a cords god bless you. :-)

Just ordered one because of your review.

GREAT knife, but all too typically horrible Benchmade sheath.

I want this knife BECAUSE it is made in the USA. America First my friend.

The knife calls to me but that sheat is way to soft. You can harden the leather but since they only use one pin on the belt loop it will stretch out. For the price point there is no excuse, their kydex is also a joke. I used to think it was probably do to a huge order they had produced... I thought maybe they were stuck with a truck load? BUT many years later they still are being made this way. .. Just like Tops skinny scales, Beckers plastic scales and Ontario's crappy nylon sheaths..These companies don't care and will keep giving their customers and fans the finger.

I'm over bench made because of their political views
