The Benchmade 15004 HUNT is a rugged hunting knife with a draw hook, solid CPM-S30V powder steel blade, stabilized wood handle and natural leather sheath.Full constructionThe Benchmade 15004 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, so they are commonly used for heavy-duty applications 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 .Crucible Industries' S30V powder steel is hardened to a hardness of 58-60 HRC, which allows it to remain sharp for a long time, has good mechanical strength and resists abrasion and corrosion.The high vanadium carbide content makes the steel resistant to fracture, abrasion and cutting properties. Due to the specificity of the CPM-S30V steel and its high hardness, we recommend the use of diamond stones for sharpening.When choosing a hard steel knife, be sure to have a diamond sharpener on hand, as sharpening with a standard ceramic blade can be tedious and inefficient.The blade is finished with a matte stone wash (bath in grinding stones), which effectively covers any scratches or abrasions the blade may get during use.A tool for the hunterThe wide, flat-cut blade has a well-rounded handle which, combined with a usable drop-point profile, provides excellent cutting parameters and high damage resistance.The hook-shaped blade makes it easier to skin the animal without damaging the abdominal wall.The back and front of the spine are cross-milled, creating a stable support for the fingers. This simple feature allows for comfortable and precise knife handling, which is essential for the hunter when emptying game.The larger blade size and 3mm thick blade means that the Benchmade 15004 HUNT can be used for other outdoor applications such as bushcraft and survival.Classic handleThe element responsible for the comfort of using the knife is of course its handle.The knife is secured to the shaft with stylish, stabilized wooden sheathing with screws. During processing, the stabilised wood is soaked in resin, which ensures better material stability, high hardness, water resistance, resistance to humidity and temperature changes, as well as resistance to many solvents and acids.The handle has a beautiful brown and black grain, which perfectly emphasises the hunting character of the knife.The stable grip of the knife is guaranteed by the contoured shape of the handle and the cut-out of the pin protruding between the facets. The back of the handle has a hole for a strap or paracord.Leather sheathTraditional natural leather sheath, closed with a metal buckle, to carry the knife securely on the belt.TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONSSheet informationBlade profile Drop pointSteel hardness [HRC] 58-60Knife type blade permanent - full tangSteel type stainless steel - full tang S30V Additional informationSheath material woodSheath material leatherCorrosion resistance highDull resistance very highSheath type flatCutting type flat Application (normal use) huntingDimensionsTotal length [mm] 221Blade length [mm] 107Blade thickness [mm] 3Weight [g] 122
