Benchmade 15500-3 Meatcrafter Fixed Blade 6.08"

The Benchmade 15500-3 Meatcrafter is a purpose-built game processing and food prep knife from Benchmade's Hunt Series. The 6.08-inch trailing point blade is designed for long, sweeping cuts through meat and connective tissue, making it the right tool for breaking down big game in the field or processing cuts at camp. The OD green G-10 handle keeps the weight at 4.52 ounces despite the generous blade length, so extended butchering sessions do not fatigue your hand.

The blade is CPM S45VN stainless steel at 60-62 HRC. S45VN is Crucible's refinement of S35VN, adding niobium content for improved edge stability and wear resistance. Benchmade applies their 14-degree SelectEdge grind for a razor-sharp factory edge that slices cleanly through game from the first cut. The 0.090-inch blade thickness keeps the profile thin and flexible for separating meat from bone without tearing. Full-tang construction provides structural integrity through the entire knife.

The contoured OD green G-10 handle is shaped for a secure grip during wet, repetitive cutting work. G-10 does not absorb moisture or become slippery, which matters during extended field processing. A lanyard hole in the rear section of the handle accepts paracord for wrist retention. The Boltaron sheath is molded for a secure fit and mounts in multiple belt configurations for field carry. Overall length is 11.06 inches.
