Versatile and tough-as-nails, it's built to perform throughout any season for big game or small, backcountry hunts to base camp chores. The contoured handle with grippy texture provides confident control in slippery conditions — inclement weather, blood, and the wet realities of field dressing — while multiple grip points along the blade spine and handle jimping keep every cut precise from the first stroke to the last. Paired with a rugged synthetic belt sheath for safe carry and quick access in the field, the Steep Country is the kind of hunting blade that disappears in your hand until the work is done. Made in Benchmade's Oregon City facility and backed by the LifeSharp lifetime service program.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- KEY FEATURES PANEL --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-panel key-panel\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-title\"\u003eHunting Fixed Blade\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-desc\"\u003eBenchmade's purpose-built hunting fixed blade platform — built for field dressing, processing, skinning, and general big-game and small-game work throughout the season.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-title\"\u003eDrop-Point Blade\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-desc\"\u003e3.54\" drop-point profile with a versatile belly for skinning, caping, and processing tasks.
