Benchmade Bushcrafter 162: The New Standard in the Wilderness

When you venture into the deep wilderness, your knife is your most important tool. The Benchmade Bushcrafter 162, designed by renowned knife maker Shane Sibert, is built to withstand the most extreme conditions. This fixed blade knife combines brute strength with refined ergonomics and premium materials. Whether you're splitting wood, making feather sticks, or preparing game, the Bushcrafter is an indestructible extension of your hand.

The Benchmade 162 is a “full tang” knife, which means the steel extends all the way through the handle for maximum break resistance.

- Premium CPM S30V Steel: The blade is made from CPM S30V powder steel. This steel is known for its phenomenal edge retention and high corrosion resistance, allowing you to spend less time on maintenance and more time on your bushcraft tasks.
- Indestructible G10 Handle: The blue-green handle is made of G10, a high-pressure fiberglass laminate that is insensitive to temperature changes and moisture. The scales are secured with strong titanium tubes, which is not only durable but also gives it a unique look.
- Functional Drop Point Blade: The subtle drop point shape provides a strong point and excellent control during precision work.
- Luxury Deer Leather Sheath: The knife comes with a brown full-grain deer leather sheath. It features an extra loop, specifically designed to carry a Firesteel.
- Optimal Balance: With a total length of 23 cm and a weight of 220 grams, the knife feels solid in the hand without being awkwardly heavy.

The biggest advantage of the Benchmade Bushcrafter is its reliability. Shane Sibert has omitted all unnecessary embellishments to create a knife that is purely focused on survival. The contour of the handle is designed to prevent “hot spots” during prolonged use, allowing you to work comfortably for hours. The S30V steel retains its razor-sharp edge much longer than traditional carbon steel knives, which is essential during expeditions where sharpening options are limited.

This knife is designed for heavy-duty outdoor tasks. Use the back of the blade (which has a sharp 90-degree angle) in combination with your Firesteel to strike sparks, thus saving the cutting edge of your knife. The leather sheath protects the blade during transport; we recommend treating the leather periodically with wax or oil to keep it supple and water-repellent.

This knife is ideal for the serious bushcrafter, survival specialist, and demanding camper. For those who believe in the principle of “buy once, cry once,” this is an investment for life.

The Benchmade Bushcrafter 162 is a masterpiece by Shane Sibert. It is sturdy, functional, and made from the best materials the modern knife industry has to offer. A knife that not only performs well but will also last for generations.
