Benchmade Altitude Fixed Blade Knife vs Spyderco Salt 2 Lightweight Lockback Knife Green

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 blade length is going to be right at about 3 inches the handle length. It's going to be right at about four and a quarter. Just under four and a q...

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

Only complaint, and it's really not. I wish they'd kept the handle configuration same as in the Salt One where the end is squarish and wider. As it is, it's more like the Endura series.

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

Have used extensively for last few months while fishing and under water in Atlantic, no rust at all!! Don’t even wash off many times, impressive! LC200N holds decent edge and easy to sharpen. Highly recommend for salt water

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

Linerless FRN handle without washers, and DLC coated Lock Bar: The Handle has no liners which makes it lighter than the endura 4, but a little less ridgid and a little less smooth. The balance in the hand however is more comfortable. This makes the knife extremely Lightweight
