Benchmade Bushcrafter 162 Quick Review

[@daltonramsey9585]

I love saber and flat grinds. I think they’re the most attractive. Sometimes I like the looks of a scandi but it really depends on the knife. Enzo trapper and some of the Helle knives look nice. I think the ricasso can really affect the looks of the knife in a negative way but Benchmade did an excellent job here. I love how it tapers behind the choil. I think this knife is one of the most attractive production knives around

Yeah man I have one too.. and my guy, it's just my cup of tea. Its been at our little hardware store for years and years. And I came in today and it was price dropped to 150... I couldn't hold back anymore. . It's perfect in every way . On par with any custom knife I've ever handled.. I don't like scandi grinds. This thing just gives me the fizz. I can't find a blemish or an uneven line. It's perfect.

Mines out for delivery! Can’t wait to take it into the woods. Hope it performs better then the ESEE mil3 I got. ESEE was a bit to small for wood work, and honestly it seemed to go dull just cutting food. I got a real sharpening stone so hopefully that makes the ESEE a better knife. Plus its almost impossible to get a spark of the ridges of the ESEE with the powder coating. Plus the ESEE started rusting on the second camp trip.

It is a sabre grind with drop point.

I agree, nice review. I've owned this knife for five years and have bashed the crap out of it and it certainly stands up to it's name and value. S30V is certainly not a field sharpen metal, but you can knock of any burrs reasonably easily.

[@slackerdog007slackerdog8]

Love my 162 , can’t imagine a better knife , seems to me they got the design from the knife bear grylls used on man vs wild , which is cool with me , that knife was hand made and $500 , so this one at $200 is cool with me ! 👍

This one seems to at the top of the Bushcraft buy lists for most.

[@glen432003]

Ozark Pursuit I’m sure , it’s awesome !

[@thejuicer9706]

Bruh did you really say flint stone ???

GREAT knife, but all too typically horrible Benchmade sheath.

[@Airik1111bibles]

The knife calls to me but that sheat is way to soft. You can harden the leather but since they only use one pin on the belt loop it will stretch out. For the price point there is no excuse, their kydex is also a joke. I used to think it was probably do to a huge order they had produced... I thought maybe they were stuck with a truck load? BUT many years later they still are being made this way. .. Just like Tops skinny scales, Beckers plastic scales and Ontario's crappy nylon sheaths..These companies don't care and will keep giving their customers and fans the finger.

[@hectorrivera6624]

I didnt like the sheath so go a custom made from Patriot leather co. Very happy with it.

[@Airik1111bibles]

@@hectorrivera6624 I've been using the stock sheath and I warmed up to it. I actually kinda like the design just wish it had two rivets in that belt loop. I like the way it rides and that removing the knife is really easy. That said there are a ton of budget sheaths like Enzo Briza that would be good alternatives.

[@hectorrivera6624]

@@Airik1111bibles Nice....I also heard the sheath from TOPS fits nicely.

[@Airik1111bibles]

@@hectorrivera6624 Those are excellent sheaths ...Their Dragonfly 4.5 is supposed to come with that leather sheath now. I have their Brakimo which has a great kydex sheath but the handle is a bit thin. That Dragonfly is a thinner blade with a better grip so I'd like to get one eventually.

[@hectorrivera6624]

@@Airik1111bibles Nice keep us posted. Also check out the kydex sheaths from Armatus. I alternate between leather and kydex depending on the place or what im doing.

I'm over bench made because of their political views

[@OzarkPursuit7883]

I totally understand and wish the CEO would explain better. Im havkng trouble finding a better left handed edc pocket knife.

[@dude28405]

@@OzarkPursuit7883 I don't think he explained it well because he's trying to trying to hide how he feels I believe he's anti-second Amendment

[@theblake5356]

You shouldn’t factor politics into buying a knife. Who gives a $h!t what the owner/CEO of a company thinks.

[@dude28405]

@@theblake5356 I really don't care what he thinks it's what he spending the money on political donations to people that have goals and agendas that are contrary to mine I'm not taking my money and putting it somewhere where it's going to come back around and bite me in the rear

Peter They still make good knives. End of story.
