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. That removes the pivot as a failure point and makes cleanup far easier after field dressing, which is why the Benchmade Lone Wolf Hunter 40036-101 was built that way rather than as a folder.
What is a drop point blade?
A drop point curves the spine gently down to the tip, giving a strong point and a long, sweeping belly. On the Benchmade Lone Wolf Hunter 40036-101 that belly is what does the work in skinning strokes, and the lowered tip reduces the risk of nicking the hide or the paunch.
Is N680 good knife steel?
N680 is nitrogen-alloyed stainless with very high corrosion resistance, a sensible choice for a knife that will meet blood, water and field grime. The Benchmade Lone Wolf Hunter 40036-101 sharpens easily on a ceramic rod or fine stone and tolerates being cleaned and put away damp better than most tool steels.
Is the Benchmade Lone Wolf Hunter 40036-101 legal to carry?
The Benchmade Lone Wolf Hunter 40036-101 has a 3.75" blade and is a sheath-carried fixed blade. Several states and cities restrict fixed blade carry or set blade-length limits independent of hunting use, so check your local laws before carrying it off the property.
Does the Benchmade Lone Wolf Hunter 40036-101 come with a sheath?
Yes. The Benchmade Lone Wolf Hunter 40036-101 ships with a nylon belt sheath.
