Frequently Asked Questions
What makes CPM-S90V steel different from other blade steels?
CPM-S90V is a premium stainless steel with exceptional edge retention due to its high vanadium carbide content. It holds a sharp edge longer than most steels, making it ideal for extended hunting seasons where frequent sharpening isn't practical.
How does the orange sheath attach to gear?
The Boltaron sheath is designed to secure to chest rigs or slip into packs. The bright orange color provides high visibility so you can quickly locate your knife in the field.
Is the G10 handle material durable enough for hunting conditions?
G10 is a fiberglass laminate that's extremely durable and provides excellent grip even when wet. It won't absorb moisture or oils, making it ideal for field dressing and processing game.
What's the blade thickness good for?
At 0.090 inches, this blade thickness balances strength with precision cutting. It's thick enough for durability during game processing but thin enough for detailed work.
Does this knife come with Benchmade's warranty?
Yes, all Benchmade knives are backed by their LifeSharp service and limited lifetime warranty when purchased from authorized dealers.
