Benchmade 163BK Bushcrafter Knife: Carbon Fiber, Drop-point

Channel your inner-survivalist with the sleek 163BK Bushcrafter, a modern bushcraft fixed-blade reimagined as a premium variant to our original 162 designed by Shane Sibert. Built for the trail — or straying off of it — the new 163 has been elevated with new blade geometry and handle ergonomics, premium finishes like a lightweight carbon fiber handle, and a modular molded sheath design with push button retention release. From fire prep, batoning, and feather sticking, to shelter building and food prep around camp, the 163 Bushcrafter begs you to be outside.

• MEET THE BUSHCRAFTER
  Designed with purpose and built to last, the Bushcrafter sets a high bar for durability and performance matched only by our promise that it will be yours, for life.
  
  
• HOW IT'S MADE
  Laser-cut from sheets of high-grade steel, every Benchmade blade is ground, beveled, and finished with uncompromising precision. We mill and machine handles in-house to the most exacting specifications, and every knife is hand-assembled and sharpened by highly trained technicians bringing to bear over thirty years of manufacturing excellence in our state-of-the-art factory in Oregon City, Oregon.
  
  
• USE & CARE
  Proper care and regular maintenance help make your Benchmade knife yours, for life. Here are some tips for keeping your Benchmade in peak condition:
  
  
  • All steel, regardless of price and grade, can eventually rust, so it’s important to keep your knife dry and lubricated. If spotting or rust occurs, semi-chrome metal polish will often take care of it.
  • Dishwashers can cause serious damage that is not covered under our warranty, so make sure to hand-wash your Benchmade under warm water with dish soap only, and dry thoroughly.
  • Remember, knives are cutting tools, and you should never use your knife as a pry-bar, screwdriver, chisel, or punch, unless the knife is designed explicitly for those purposes.
  • If you choose to sharpen your blade yourself, avoid grinding wheels and other high-powered machinery.
  • Handle, pivot, and pocket clip screws may require occasional adjustment using T6 & T10 Torx drivers. We recommend applying a small dab of releasable thread-locker as needed.
