Benchmade 15002-1: Saddle Mountain Skinner with Richlite Handle

Looking for an uncompromising, powerful and very solid hunting knife for the big jobs in the field? The Benchmade 15002-1 Saddle Mountain Skinner from the HUNT series is aimed at big-game hunters around the world who demand maximum precision and durability. Thanks to clear upgrades in the knife's overall geometry, ergonomics and materials, Benchmade's high-tech sharpening makes the very last cut feel just as easy, controlled and sharp as the first.

Razor-sharp SelectEdge® and CPM-S90V steel

The blade is built for strength and intensive skinning and butchering in the wild:

• Very long edge retention with CPM-S90V (59-61 HRC): The 106.7 mm blade is made of high-tech CPM-S90V stainless powder steel. With its high content of vanadium carbides, this steel offers very high wear resistance and stays sharp considerably longer than common steels.

• SelectEdge® technology: The blade is sharpened with Benchmade's precise SelectEdge method, which creates an excellent polished edge. This gives maximum cutting comfort, whether you are boning, skinning or preparing food in camp.

• Robust full-tang construction: The 3.048 mm steel runs all the way through the handle, making the knife structurally very strong and well balanced under heavy pressure.

Richlite handle and functional Boltaron sheath

The knife combines traditional hunting lines with modern, weather-resistant material technology:

• Weather-resistant Richlite® & G10: The handle scales are made of Richlite – a very durable and sustainable composite of compressed paper fibre and resin. It is mounted on a bright orange G10 base layer, giving a crisp visual contrast. The grip is fully resistant to water, blood and dirt and gives a firm hold in cold or wet conditions.

• Redesigned low-profile sheath: The knife comes with a hard-wearing, moulded Boltaron sheath. The compact low-profile design keeps the knife safely and reliably in place, whether you carry it on your belt or have it packed deep in your backpack.

The knife is fully Ambidextrous and delivers high performance for the hunter who will not compromise on gear. It is Made in USA to very strict quality standards.
