The 60-62 HRC hardness provides a sharp, durable edge that holds up through extended butchering sessions while resisting staining from blood and moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow does the trailing point blade shape help with game processing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe curved trailing point follows natural body contours when skinning and allows precise cuts around bones and joints. This blade geometry reduces waste and improves processing efficiency compared to straight-edge designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is SelectEdge technology?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSelectEdge is Benchmade's proprietary edge geometry that optimizes the blade angle and finish for specific cutting tasks.
