Premium bushcraft steel meets lightweight carbon fiber performance.
The Benchmade 163BK Bushcrafter is a premium fixed blade built for serious field use. Designed as an evolution of the original Bushcrafter platform, this version upgrades the knife with CPM CruWear tool steel, refined blade geometry, and a lightweight carbon fiber handle that balances durability with comfort.
The drop point blade excels at real bushcraft tasks like feather sticking, fire prep, batoning, shelter building, and camp food prep. With a Cerakote finished blade and a hardness rating of 63–65 HRC, this knife delivers excellent edge retention while maintaining toughness for demanding outdoor use.
The 3K twill carbon fiber handle keeps weight down while offering a solid, confident grip. Ergonomics are designed for extended use, whether you're carving, processing wood, or handling general camp tasks.
A modular molded sheath with push button retention keeps the knife secure while allowing quick deployment. Built for the trail or off-grid use, this is a bushcraft knife that’s meant to work.
