Benchmade Bushcrafter
The Benchmade Bushcrafter series delivers purpose-built fixed blades designed by renowned knifemaker Shane Sibert for serious wilderness work. Whether you're feather sticking, batoning through hardwood, building shelter, or preparing camp meals, these full-tang knives provide the backbone for traditional bushcraft skills backed by modern materials and manufacturing precision.
Full-Size Performance
The original Bushcrafter design features a 4.38" drop-point blade with geometry optimized for the varied cutting tasks wilderness survival demands. The 163-1 pairs S30V stainless steel with OD Green G10 handle scales over a red G10 base layer, delivering corrosion resistance and all-weather grip. For weight-conscious users, the 163BK upgrades to CPM-CruWear tool steel and carbon fiber scales, maximizing toughness and edge retention while minimizing pack weight. Both full-size models include a leather sheath with ferro rod attachment for fire-starting capability.
Compact Bushcraft
The Mini Bushcrafter brings Sibert's proven design into a 3.38" blade format without sacrificing capability. The 165-1 offers the same S30V and G10 combination in a more packable size, while the 165BK pushes performance further with CPM-CruWear steel (63-65 HRC), carbon fiber handles, and black Cerakote coating. The sharpened choil on the 165BK throws sparks from ferro rods and enables precise feather sticking for fire preparation.
Built for Hard Use
Every Bushcrafter features full-tang construction capable of handling batoning duties and heavy camp tasks. The drop-point blade geometry excels at both fine work and aggressive cutting. Benchmade builds each knife in Oregon City, USA and backs them with a lifetime warranty and LifeSharp service to keep your edge field-ready for years of backcountry use.
