Benchmade Altitude Fixed Blade Knife vs CRKT Razel GT Frame Lock Knife Black

Benchmade 15200 Altitude. You might have to shop around to find one at your price, but they can be found. Amazing little fixed blade that is great at holding an edge

The portion of the blade that cut me, on both occasions, was the portion of the shorter chisel edge that meets the spine. The blade is sharp, there is no doubt about that. I'm not sure if it's the shape & size of my hands (wide palms with long fingers; my hands are truly larger than most, I wear a Men's glove size 2XL), or if it's how I'm forced to hold the knife with my large hands. But I do know that while I really like the design of this knife, I'll probably never get to find out how long either edge will last -- the risks for using this knife, for me, outweigh the benefits, especially when there are plenty of other knives to choose from

Handles well, this knife is awesome especially for my sheep and mule deer prairie hunts where I carry a lot of gear. I didn't know if i'd like the orange but it's great, you never have to look for it. Great purchase

If i were to do it over again I would have bought the slightly larger model. The handles are ok. I would prefer to see g10 or micarta, but that would undoubtedly raise the price point. It does not hold an edge very well however anyone with rudimentary sharpening skills will have no problem maintaining an edge

I have been using my KOA D2 elk hunter for the past ten years. It's a great knife, but at the end of last season I decided to start looking at some of the higher end steels. I am on a bit of a quest to find a knife that will remain sufficiently sharp through an entire elk. I have several benchmade pocket knives and I really like them so I decided to try a couple of their hunting knives to see how I like their design/feel and to test the edge holding retention on elk hide

This one looks like it will work just fine. It is very sturdy, much more so that a typical picket knife. That is appropriate for my intended use. It looks very strong

This is a spendy knife but it is well worth the price. I purchased the firstlite edition knife because it is $30 cheaper on Amazon than anywhere else at the moment.

The value is there again. I really wish i could have got my hands on a original john, graham piece, but they just weren't available, but i will note t...

But for those looking for a tough fixed blade that weighs scant ounces for hunting, this one should be high on the list.

Knit picks, it's tiny, right? Some people aren't going to like how heavy it is for how small it is. Definitely watch out for that edge up there. Do no...
