Benchmade Grizzly Creek 15062, S30V, wood, hunting pocket Tool
The Benchmade Grizzly Creek 15062 is a hunting knife, made by Benchmade in the United States. The blade with large 'belly' is ideal for gutting game. But before you can gut, the first incision must first be made in the belly. For this you usually use a cutting hook. So Benchmade has also provided that on the Grizzly Creek.
Opening the Benchmade Grizzly Creek 15062, S30V, wood, hunting pocket knife is very easy with one hand using the thumb rest. The pocket knife runs on phosphor bronze washers, making opening and closing very smooth. Once opened, the axis lock ensures that the knife is blocked and does not fold inadvertently. The handy thing about this lock is that it can be used equally well by both left- and right-handed people.
Blade made of CPM S30V steel
The blade of this Benchmade Hunt Class, Grizzly Creek is made of CPM S30V steel. This is a premium stainless steel made by Crucible Industries in the United States. S30V retains its sharpness well and is very rustproof. It is also easy to sharpen yourself with the right tools.
Several greats in the knife world have contributed to the development of CPM S30V. Think of knife makers such as Chris Reeve, Sal Glesser, Ernest Emerson, Tony Marfione, Phil Wilson, Bill Harsey, Mike Jones, Steve Ingrim, Tom Mayo, Jerry Hossom and Paul Bos.
For the blade finish, the 'stonewash' process was chosen. In this process, the blade is placed in a drum with ceramic stones, or media, and then vibrated or tumbled for several hours. The result is a finish that looks polished or roughened, depending on the version. The advantage of stonewashing, however, is that traces of use are much less noticeable. A favourite choice for real utility knives.
Wooden handle
The handle of this pocket knife is made of wood. This is of course one of the most well-known handle materials for knives. We always recommend taking good care of a wooden handle. Do not expose a wooden handle to moisture too much and regularly provide the wood with a layer of oil or wax.
