Benchmade Bushcrafter | An Outhouse Review

Awesome job brother

[@Robertssurvivalsystems]

Thank you very much

I was so disappointed in mine, out of box it had a messed up handle which I corrected. I honestly should have sent it back but it was an east fix . That said after many years and also reprofiling the edge I just don't care for the knife that much. It does have a unique handle which works well with certain styles of use. It's basically a expensive hunting knife for someone who wants a one and done lifetime purchase. The sheath is a cool design , I love that it's easy to deploy and rides very nice, BUT that buckskin leather is all show and no go way to thin. The choice of materials is horrible , if it were thick vegtan leather, it would be excellent . The S30V is ok but it's chippy if you go under 19° on that secondary . I reprofiled mine twice because of that issue . Mine has been for sale in my head for about two years now , I just haven't posted an ad yet 😁

[@Robertssurvivalsystems]

Yeah I had higher expectations for it. It is not worth the price

[@LegionTacticoolCutlery]

I always liked this knife just not the price

[@Robertssurvivalsystems]

I have to agree with you there

[@isaacs_knives_and_knowledge]

This is a nice knife. They redesigned it for this year and I don't like the new one. Plus added another $100 to the price tag for the same materials.

[@Robertssurvivalsystems]

An extra 100 bucks for what is the same knife... that is disapointing. I cant say that I can suggest this knife at that price point to be honest.

[@James-ke5sx]

I got one coming in the mail and the first thing I plan on doing is ordering another sheath from BPS knives for about $20.

[@Robertssurvivalsystems]

I will have to check out that company. Thank you.

[@Level3Readiness]

Looks like a very capable blade, I like the way it curled that oak! Agreed on the holes... Fashion over function there.

[@Robertssurvivalsystems]

That is a thing that seems to happen alot in the knife world as of late.

[@Carl_Grissom_Sr]

Decent knife with an almost decent price I’m really liking the EF blades you’re reviewing

[@Robertssurvivalsystems]

I like them too. They are good blades and don't cost an arm and leg

[@Bushwhacker01]

Nice review my dude

[@Robertssurvivalsystems]

Thank you much

[@bruceallen6016]

I've had my 162 well more than 10 years now, but I asked a Benchmade rep about the scales before I bought it. He said they use a commercial grade epoxy along with the Titanium tubes to secure them. He said, Those scales aren't going anywhere. 😉

[@Robertssurvivalsystems]

@@bruceallen6016 that's good news, thank you for sharing that info 😀

[@Brocephus1776]

I'll never understand the purpose of drilling random holes in a handle that's gonna take repeated impacts from batoning, etc.

[@Robertssurvivalsystems]

I think in todays world its about how much you spend on an item and not so much how much the item is worth.
