Frequently Asked Questions
What makes CPM-S90V steel special for hunting knives?
CPM-S90V is a super premium stainless steel with exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance. The 59-61 HRC hardness provides a sharp, long-lasting edge that performs well in wet hunting conditions while remaining easy to maintain in the field.
How does the carbon fiber handle affect performance?
The carbon fiber and G10 micro-scales reduce weight significantly while maintaining strength and grip security. This construction gives you better control during detailed work compared to traditional skeletonized designs.
Is this knife suitable for heavy-duty camp tasks?
The Altitude is optimized for hunting and light camp duties. The 0.090-inch blade thickness and drop-point design handle field dressing and food prep well, but this is primarily a precision hunting tool rather than a heavy-duty camp knife.
What type of sheath comes with the Altitude?
The knife includes a hunting-specific sheath designed for secure carry during backcountry activities.
Is the Altitude made in the USA?
Yes, like all Benchmade knives, the Altitude is manufactured in the USA with Benchmade's lifetime warranty and service support.
