Another TNP Hall of Fame blade, the Benchmade 915 Triage shows design elegance. It is ground breaking in its blending of the effective rescue cutting hook and 3.5" modified sheepsfoot blade. Though extremely lighweight and easy to carry, most of us cannot integrate the Benchmade Rescue cutters into our daily systems and they usually get left out. The 915 solves that miss with an unobtrusive rescue hook which lays unseen and flat within the handle until needed. This blackened rescue hook is made of out 440C steel and it breezes through all types of media to include thick fabrics, cordage, leather, vinyl, carpet, burlap, etc. It will provide excellent game dressing capabilities as well. This hook deploys easily with good detent, has jimping at its base, and does not lock. The N680 steel blade is mostly flat ground making reprofiling easier after long term use. This choice of steel took a fine edge but was not tested in heavy duty cutting and it arrived somewhat dull with an abrupt primary bevel (corrected in sharpening). The N680 steel promises excellent corrosion resistence with its integration of nitrogen and might make the Triage a good choice for frequent fresh water/occasional salt water use. Like its other stablemates the 950 Rift or 550/551 Griptilian, the blade has a strong tip, excellent belly, and a quality finish. The handle on this version features the vibrant, high traction orange G10 scales that are cut from some of the best handle material G10 I've seen <b>...</b>
