Frequently Asked Questions

What makes CPM-S90V steel different from other hunting knife steels?

CPM-S90V is a powder metallurgy steel with high vanadium content that creates extremely hard carbides. This results in superior edge retention compared to traditional steels, meaning fewer sharpenings during extended processing sessions.

Is the Boltaron sheath durable enough for field use?

Boltaron is a rigid thermoplastic material that resists impact and maintains its shape under temperature extremes. It provides secure blade retention while protecting the edge during transport and storage.

How does the MOLLE compatibility work on a hunting knife?

The sheath includes MOLLE-compatible mounting hardware that allows attachment to tactical packs, plate carriers, or MOLLE panels. This provides secure carry options beyond traditional belt mounting.

What is Richlite handle material?

Richlite is a composite material made from resin-impregnated paper layers. It provides excellent grip in wet conditions while remaining lightweight and durable through temperature changes.

Does this knife come with a warranty?

Benchmade backs their knives with a limited lifetime warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty includes free sharpening service for the life of the knife.
