The Benchmade 15002 HUNT is a great hunting knife for skinning and field working , equipped with a rugged CPM-S30V powder steel blade , a handle made of stabilized wood and a natural leather sheath.Solid constructionThe Benchmade 15002 HUNT is a large fixed blade (fixed blade) with a full body construction.The one-piece steel blades (full tang) are resistant to damage and breakage and are commonly used for heavy duty by hunters, survival and bushcraft enthusiasts and soldiers.Premium quality steelThe knife has a fixed blade, 107 mm long, made of American CPM-S30V stainless steel.The S30V powder steel from Crucible Industries is hardened to an optimum hardness of 58-60 HRC , thanks to which it retains its high sharpness for a long time, has a good mechanical strength and is also corrosion resistant.Due to the high vanadium carbide content, the steel is characterized by high toughness and wear resistance, as well as excellent cutting properties. Therefore, due to the high hardening properties and the specificity of CPM-S30V steel, we recommend the use of diamond stones for sharpening.When choosing a hard steel knife, you should purchase a diamond sharpener, as sharpening with a standard ceramic saw stone can be very tedious and ineffective.The wedge is finished with a matte stone wash (bath in grinding stones), which effectively covers any scratches or abrasions on the blade caused by use.Blade for the hunterThe wide, flat-cut blade has a well-rounded tang which, combined with the usable drop-point profile, provides excellent cutting parameters and high damage resistance .The back and front of the spine are cross-milled, creating a stable support for the fingers. This simple comfort allows for comfortable and precise knife handling , which is essential for a hunter when emptying game.The larger blade size and 3 mm thick blade means that the Benchmade 15002 HUNT can also be used for other outdoor applications such as bushcraft and survival .Classic HandleThe element responsible for the comfort of use of the knife is of course its handle.The knife is secured to the handle with stylish stabilized wood sheathing with screws.The stabilized wood is soaked in resin during processing, which provides improved material stability, high hardness, water resistance, resistance to humidity and temperature changes, and resistance to many solvents and acids. The handle has a beautiful brown and black grain, which perfectly accentuates the hunting character of the knife.The stable grip of the knife is guaranteed by the contoured shape of the handle and the scaled ribs on the upper part of the shaft . The back of the handle has a hole for a strap or paracord.Leather sheathA natural leather sheath, closed with a metal buckle, carries the knife securely on the belt.TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONSSheet informationBlade profile Drop pointSteel hardness [HRC] 58-60Knife type blade permanent - full tangSteel type stainless steel - S30V Additional informationSheath material woodSheath material leatherCorrosion resistance highDull resistance very highSheath hasCutting type flat Application (normal use)hunting,outdoorDimensionsTotal length [mm] 221Blade length [mm] 107Blade thickness [mm] 3Weight [g] 122
