Choosing the Right Benchmade Knife
Benchmade Knives FAQs
Our Benchmade collection can include folding knives, everyday-carry knives, hunting knives, fixed blades, skinning knives, and game-processing knives. Inventory changes as models and configurations sell through.
Popular everyday-carry options in our collection include models such as the Bugout, Griptilian, Osborne and Bailout. The best choice depends on preferred blade size, weight, handle material, locking system and carry style.
Hunting-focused options in our collection include models such as the Hidden Canyon Hunter, Saddle Mountain Skinner, Steep Country, Taggedout, North Fork, Grizzly Creek and Meatcrafter. These cover tasks ranging from general field use and field dressing to skinning and meat processing.
Consider the main task, blade shape, blade length, handle grip, weight and whether you prefer a fixed blade or folder. Field dressing and skinning often benefit from controlled blade geometry and a secure grip, while folders can be more convenient to carry.
Benchmade uses different blade steels across its product line. The exact steel varies by model, with different options balancing edge retention, toughness, corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening. Check each product page for the specific blade steel and hardness when available.
Many Benchmade knives are manufactured in the United States. Check the individual product specifications for country-of-origin information on the exact model you are considering.
