Frequently Asked Questions
What is a fixed blade hunting knife?
A fixed blade has no folding joint, so the blade and tang are one continuous piece of steel carried in a sheath. There is no pivot to fail and nothing for blood and hair to pack into, which is why the Benchmade Lone Wolf Hunter 40036-100 was built as a fixed blade rather than a folder.
What is a drop point blade?
A drop point curves the spine gently down toward the tip, producing a strong point and a long sweeping belly. On the Benchmade Lone Wolf Hunter 40036-100 that belly does the skinning work, and the lowered tip helps you avoid nicking hide or organs.
Is N680 good knife steel?
N680 is nitrogen-alloyed stainless with very high corrosion resistance, which suits a knife that meets blood, water and field grime. The Benchmade Lone Wolf Hunter 40036-100 comes back to sharp quickly on a ceramic rod or fine stone and is forgiving if it gets sheathed damp.
Is the Benchmade Lone Wolf Hunter 40036-100 legal to carry?
The Benchmade Lone Wolf Hunter 40036-100 is a sheath-carried fixed blade with a 3.75" blade. Several states and cities restrict fixed blade carry or impose blade-length limits regardless of hunting use, so check your local laws before carrying it.
