Benchmade Hunt 15060-2 Grizzly Creek

Research projects, R&D lab tests and many miles of field research provided the foundation for the design and development of Benchmade HUNT. Built from advanced materials usually reserved for spaceships and surgical equipment, these technologically advanced hunting knives provide refined performance and rugged durability.

To most hunters edge retention is the most important feature. The better the edge retention, the less you have to sharpen a knife while field dressing. This is one of the primary reasons the CPM-S30V was selected for the HUNT line. The standard test used to indicate edge retention is the CATRA test. This test measures initial cutting depth as well as edge retention over many cuts. CPM-S30V performs near the top of premium hunting steels in this test. CPM-S30V has a very uniform grain structure so there are no weak points in the blade, increasing the consistency of strength over other non-powder blade metals.

Corrosion resistance is paramount to a reliable outdoor blade. There are not many things more damaging or irrevocable than rust. CPM-S30V is a TRUE stainless steel. CPM-S30V has a significant advantage over other carbon steels for outdoor use. In fact, lab tests showed that after being exposed to a corrosive environment for 96 hours CPM-S30V out performed D2 by 619%.

The Grizzly Creek is a capable hunting partner. The modified drop point blade combined with a contoured Stabilized Wood handle provides balance and a positive grip. Stabilized Wood is a layered composite made from natural fiber. Stabilized Wood is superior to natural wood materials in stability and resistance to climate and moisture. The Grizzly Creek features Benchmade’s Axis locking mechanism, ambidextrous dual thumb-stud opener, folding gut hook and reversible pocket clip.
