Benchmade 15017: Hidden Canyon Hunter with Wood Handle

Looking for a compact, light and very precise hunting knife that combines a traditional, attractive look with modern material technology? The Benchmade 15017 Hidden Canyon Hunter from the HUNT series is a tool for the quality-conscious hunter. Despite its very nimble, pocket-friendly format, the ergonomic design gives plenty of control, making it just as effective for skinning big game as for precision work on smaller species.

Premium CPM-S30V steel with stonewash finish

The blade is made for hard, repeated use in the field, where you need an edge you can trust:

• Excellent edge retention (58-60 HRC): The 70.9 mm drop-point blade is made of the well-regarded CPM-S30V stainless steel. It gives a good balance between durability, high corrosion resistance and an edge that stays sharp throughout the work without constant breaks for sharpening.

• Practical stonewash finish: The surface has a stonewash treatment that effectively hides scratches, signs of use and reflections from the sun.

• Very strong full-tang construction: As the 3.048 mm steel runs all the way through the handle, the knife is structurally very strong and well balanced in the hand.

Stabilised wood handle and traditional leather sheath

Where other hunting knives often use cold synthetic materials, this model offers a natural look without losing durability:

• Stabilised wood: The handle scales keep the natural beauty, warmth and grain of real wood, but are saturated with special resin under high pressure. This means the wood is fully sealed and impermeable to water, blood and moisture – it does not crack, warp or absorb liquid in changeable weather.

• Optimised ergonomics: Strategically placed grooves (jimpings) on the spine give your thumb a firm pressure point, so the last cut feels just as easy and controlled as the first.

• Classic leather sheath: Unlike tactical plastic sheaths, this version comes with a hard-wearing, traditional leather knife sheath.

The knife is fully Ambidextrous and weighs just 79.66 g. It is Made in USA to strict quality standards, making it a loyal companion and a lifetime investment.
