The 4.23\" blade is N680 stainless, and the handle is high-density hi-vis orange Santoprene with a specialized grip texture that keeps working when it is wet. Spine jimping and a deep finger choil add control for fine work. It ships in a leather sheath.

That gives more strength than a folder and makes cleaning simple after field dressing, which is the whole point of the Benchmade Lone Wolf Mountainside 40031-101.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Santoprene and why is the handle orange?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSantoprene is a soft, high-density thermoplastic rubber that grips better as it gets wet, which is why the All Weather Series used it. On the Benchmade Lone Wolf Mountainside 40031-101 it is molded in hi-vis orange so a knife set down on the ground or in snow is easy to spot again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a drop point blade?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA drop point curves the spine gently down to the tip for a strong point and a long, sweeping belly. On the Benchmade Lone Wolf Mountainside 40031-101 that shape covers field dressing, camp chores and general outdoor cutting without a delicate tip to snap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs N680 good knife steel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eN680 is nitrogen-alloyed stainless with very high corrosion resistance, which is exactly what an all-weather knife needs. The Benchmade Lone Wolf Mountainside 40031-101 sharpens easily on a ceramic rod or fine stone and tolerates wet storage far better than a carbon steel would.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Benchmade Lone Wolf Mountainside 40031-101 legal to carry?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Benchmade Lone Wolf Mountainside 40031-101 is a sheath-carried fixed blade with a 4.23\" blade, which puts it over the blade-length limit some cities set. Fixed blade carry rules vary by state and municipality, so check your local laws before carrying it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Benchmade Lone Wolf Mountainside 40031-101 come with a sheath?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Benchmade Lone Wolf Mountainside 40031-101 includes a leather belt sheath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere was the Benchmade Lone Wolf Mountainside 40031-101 made?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBenchmade manufactures in Oregon City, Oregon, and the Benchmade Lone Wolf Mountainside 40031-101 is listed as made in the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Benchmade Lone Wolf Mountainside 40031-101?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoing Gear is an authorized Benchmade dealer.
