Meet The Meatcrafter

Designed with purpose and built to last, the Meatcrafter sets a high bar for durability and performance matched only by the promise that it will be yours, for life.

Blade Style

Trailing Point: The spine curves upward to create an elevated point that's typically higher than the handle.

Blade Steel

CPM-S45VN Premium Stainless Steel (60-62HRC): Higher levels of Chromium along with the introduction of Nitrogen in S45VN allow for improved corrosion resistance over CPM-S30V and CPMS90V, while balancing the excellent performance found in both of those steels.

Handle

G10: Multiple layers of resin-laminated fiberglass make G10 incredibly durable, rigid and resistant to the elements.

Opening Action

Fixed Blade: These knives do not fold and almost always come with a sheath to protect the edge.

How it's Made

Laser-cut from sheets of high-grade steel, every Benchmade blade is ground, beveled and finished with uncompromising precision. Mill and machine handles in-house to the most exacting specifications and every knife is hand-assembled and sharpened by highly trained technicians bringing to bear over thirty years of manufacturing excellence in the state-of-the-art factory in Oregon City, Oregon.

Uses

Proper care and regular maintenance help make your Benchmade knife yours, for life. Here are some tips for keeping your Benchmade in peak condition

• All steel, regardless of price and grade, can eventually rust, so it's important to keep your knife dry and lubricated. If spotting or rust occurs, semi-chrome metal polish will often take care of it
• Dishwashers can cause serious damage that is not covered under the warranty, so make sure to hand-wash your Benchmade under warm water with dish soap only and dry thoroughly
• Remember, knives are cutting tools and you should never use your knife as a pry-bar, screwdriver, chisel or punch, unless the knife is designed explicitly for those purposes
• If you choose to sharpen your blade yourself, avoid grinding wheels and other high-powered machinery
• Handle, pivot and pocket clip screws may require occasional adjustment using T6 & T10 Torx drivers. Recommend applying a small dab of releasable thread-locker as needed
