The Bushcrafter comes with a $300 price tag, but after the abuse I subjected it to, I think it’s worth every penny. But that didn’t matter because of the beefy construction, which split the wood rather effortlessly without any visible damage to the blade. I did this after the edge retention test, so the blade was starting to get dull. I also tried batoning wood with the Bushcrafter. However, I tested it with a cheap rod and found the sharp spine does make a hell of a spark if called upon for that task. It’s a little puzzling Benchmade doesn’t include a ferro rod, especially since there’s a loop for it on the sheath. Longer than the other blades in the test. I did eventually wear the edge down, but it took some time. It sliced through large pieces of cardboard like it was butter. The CPM-S30V steel has a sharp edge straight out of the box. I wasn’t afraid to put some heavy pressure on the full tang for tougher jobs. That wide handle gives this knife excellent feel and balance in hand. This knife has a wider handle and a thicker blade than any of the other knives we tested. ![]()
