BenchmadeHidden Canyon Hunter 15017 Fixed Blade Hunting Knife with Wooden Handle (15017)

I bought this as a new choice for skinning game. This is my fourth Benchmade and I have been extremely impressed with all of them! The fit, quality and edge retention is amazing! I hesitated to spend the money on a quality knife for YEARS and I now regret that! My go-to skinner for the last 5ish years has been the Benchmade Altitude that I bought as a skinner because of its compact size and light weight. I was completely sold on Benchmade when I skinned 5 deer before having to resharpen that blade!!! I still have that and two of the Meat Crafter knives as well (one is a kitchen knife, the other is a field knife) but I do prefer a deeper belly on a skinning knife, so I decided I'd try this one. I haven't had a chance to use it yet as hunting season is still a few months out, but it feels even better in my hand than the Altitude, so I'm very excited to put it to work!

One of the sharpest and easy to use nice I have bought in several years Easy to grip very easy to control when you use

This is an awesome blade that is perfect for daily carry. A bit on the small side but if you like carrying a fixed blade, it’s a perfect size. The sheath is full grain real leather, not that pleather junk. You can never go wrong with a Benchmade, quality and durability. Lifetime sharpening when you send it in. Cannot say enough good things about this knife.

I purchased the orange trimmed G10 with Kydex sheath. This is an excellent compact fixed blade knife, it’s smaller than I thought it would be but that’s a good thing. Fit, finish and blade steel are excellent. This would be a great every day carry knife and would excel at skinning, caping and meat processing. The Kydex sheath could fit in a pocket. I attached a Kydex clip, widely available which attached to the sheath side holes , and the sheath slot, making fitment easy., it can be carried inside the wait band, I purchased the brown leather sheath directly from the manufacturer for $35 it fits perfectly and is a great value at that price

Solid knife but quality is what you would and can expect from a benchmade knife. If you are looking for a fixed blade knife look no further you can't go wrong with this one. Solid edge and I knife I can't put down.

Good looking, solidly built, sharp knife, just really small. Whole knife fits in palm of my hand.

Great

This is a great little knife. I have bigger hands, I would say, and it still fits nicely in my hand. Wanted to upload some pics for people to see the sheath since that was a mystery when I ordered mine.
