Benchmade – Saddle Mountain Skinner 15001-1 Knife, Drop-Point
October 14, 2018 - Comment
A large fixed blade with a recurved blade that assists in meat cutting and skinning chores.

The 15001-1 comes with a black, molded Kydex sheath with reversible belt loop. The 15001-2 comes with a brown, pressure fit, rich leather sheath with an integrated guard.

Fantastic knife I love the saddle mountain skinner from Benchmade. It’s marketed for hunting, but I use it as a camp/ bushcraft knife. I have always used carbon steel knives for bushcraft, so I was skeptical and concerned about this stainless s30v steel being too brittle/chipping. So far, I have been impressed with this knife. The tip and edge of the blade have held up well under conditions that would break a lesser stainless knife. I was thrilled at how sharp the edge stayed after some rough use. It…
Almost perfect I have used this knife for 4 years as my primary hunting knife in Montana and really like it, it’s not perfect. I would give it 4.75 if that was an option.

The S30V is great, the ergonomics are great, the blade shape is perfect for skinning/quartering, the jimping on the blade is perfect the handle is thin but perfect and removable if for some reason you want to take it off. Not everyone will love the size, it is on the bigger…
Awesome materials and brand, Kydex belt loop is just silly and not as firm of a fit in the sheath as I would like.
