Benchmade Bushcrafter FAQ

The Benchmade Bushcrafter series, designed by Shane Sibert, offers a specialized toolset for survival and wilderness chores with updated ergonomics for improved carving control.

What is the difference between the full-size and Mini Bushcrafter?
The primary difference is the blade length and overall footprint. The full-size Benchmade 163 features a 4.38 inch blade designed for heavy survival duty, while the 165 Mini Bushcrafter has a 3.38 inch blade that excels at fine whittling and detailed campfire tasks.
How do the handles on the Bushcrafter series feel in hand?
While the handles have a blocky profile, they are contoured for comfort and include thumb scallops to facilitate a secure pinch grip. The series uses a minimized finger guard and a less restrictive rear beak, allowing you to choke up on the handle for better control during fine carving.
Can the Benchmade Bushcrafter be used to start a fire?
The spine of the Benchmade Bushcrafter is not sharpened, but the sharpening choil at the base of the blade features crisp edges designed for striking a ferrocerium rod. This allows you to generate sparks for fire starting without using the primary cutting edge.
What kind of sheath comes with this series?
Most models in the Benchmade Bushcrafter series include a brown leather sheath with a retention strap and an integrated fire steel loop. The strap is designed to face backward when worn on the right hip, which helps prevent it from snagging on brush or branches in the woods.
Are these knives suitable for survival lashing?
Yes, the handle scales feature flared tubes that allow you to lash the knife to a pole or branch. This can be useful in survival scenarios if you need to extend your reach for cutting tasks. You can explore other specialized bushcraft knives to compare how different designs handle lashing and field use.
