The Benchmade 165-1 Mini Bushcrafter is a compact fixed blade knife designed by Shane Sibert. It is a smaller version of the full-sized Bushcrafter, with the same materials and full-tang construction in a 7.58" overall length. It is made in the USA.
The 3.38" drop point blade is CPM-S30V stainless steel hardened to 58-60 HRC, with a stonewash finish and a plain edge. The flat grind has a fuller that reduces weight while keeping the blade rigid. The knife is suited to tasks such as feather sticking, batoning kindling, food prep and making improvised tools.
The OD Green G10 handle scales are contoured for a four-finger grip and have red G10 liners visible at the edges. Hollow pins reduce weight across the full tang. A lanyard hole at the base allows for wrist attachment or tethering to a pack. The dark brown leather belt sheath has snap retention and a loop for a ferro rod.
