Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Leather sheath holds the knife snugly, and while some found the high ride of the sheath uncomfortable, i have no problems with it. Plastic insert inside sheath helps the knife to slide in easier - without too much risk of piercing the leather. Good st...  Read More

The bushcrafter 162 is stout thickness, razor sharp and ground with an acute 90 deg angle on the spine. The blade spine is a semi sharp 90° edge which showers great sparks from a good ferrocerium rod. The spine is sharp enough to easily strike a flint...  Read More

The knife gets sharp, real sharp. Benchmade are hard to dull. The sharpening choil is the perfect size. It also takes a while to sharpen since the steel is super hard.

The new crown jewel of my knife collection. I have it as a companion to my bk-7. The end product is worth it especially if you're looking for stainless.



Cons

It's a bummer because i really wanted to like this knife, and now my faith in benchmade's quality is hurt. Had trouble taking bark off of branches and not very good for batoning. I'm now worried these issues mean it's a knockoff.

Highlights

Quality


Very sturdy, very well made, fits my hand perfectly!


Quality is top notch and functionality is 100%.


After batoning several logs and and carving several feather sticks, the knife was still sharp enough to shave the hairs off of my arm.


I've cut saplings down with ease whittled wood for an hour then went and tested on paper to find it still slicing.

Price


Got an excellent deal from amazon on this purchase.


This knife is totally worth thee cost.


So, i know it's expensive, just suck it up and spend the money.


The ferro rod was not included and since i wanted to keep it all a benchmade product, i purchased the ferro for $50.

Shipping


It arrived two days early on a holiday, pretty nice.


Ordered an assist opening from them in 2003 while i was in japan and they were exceedingly helpful.

Packaging/appearance


Arrived in brand new condition, 5/5 across the board.


Wow, so beautiful i'm almost afraid to use it.


Cuts just like it did out of the box.

Competitiveness


Check out my comparison between it and the becker bk16 on you-tube at "ochoco bushcraft".


I purchased this bushcrafter 162 model after a lot of due diligence, comparing with the competition, and watching countless reviews.


I know the price is steep on this compared to some other knives but the end product is worth it especially if you're looking for stainless.

    The steel is harder to sharpen than 1095 but ive found if you strip the knife after you have used it it is unnecessary to use any ston

    I have gutted and butchered numerous deer and one cow with this knife


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    While i do not recommend butchering with this knife due to the profile it can do the job


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The sheath is not anywhere near as robust as the knife


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    However it does feel thin and the belt loop stretches easily


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    That is due to the fact that it is deer skin

    Cow hide is much more durrable
