    I’m looking at a Benchmade Steep Country as a hunting knife. Anyone have experience with one?

    I'm not a connoisseur, but have added knives from several manufacturers to the "knife drawer" (which rivals the "holster box") in search of the Goldilocks blade over the years. I've got a few from Benchmade, including this Mini Grip from Benchmade's custom shop, with S30V blade, G10 grips, and mini deep carry clip.

    The custom shop ( https://www.benchmade.com/custom-knife-builder ) isn't cheap, but they've added a lot of options, including the Bugout, which I've been eyeing for no good reason.

    A couple other Benchmades on hand: Azeria (in house version of what they used to produce as the HK Plan D), Rescue hook, and older full size Griptillian.

    Blues - I have a new in box serrated AFCK in D2 sitting in one of the gun safes. We should talk.

    No need, friend. The two M2 versions are more than enough for me. I like D2 as well, but I'm not a fan of the partially serrated blades as a rule.
    Appreciate it though.

    I guess I have been a fan of Benchmade since some time in the 80s when my dad bought a Bali-song. Someone told him it was illegal to own so it disappeared.

    In 1999 I bought a Stryker and then a Griptilian when they came out. I've had several of them since including this one that my son bought me for my birthday a few years ago

    I think this full size Barrage might be my favorite folder of all time.

    Away, away, away, down.......
    A mini Stryker was the first high quality folder I bought for myself in the late 90’s with $60 worth of birthday money.
    The ats34 steel was pretty fancy for that time and I used the hell out of that knife for a decade before I put it into retirement. I later boucght and subsequently lost a full sized Stryker when the pocket clip snagged on something at work. That was the same fate of a iirc a model 710 with the axis lock. I stopped carrying clipped on folders after that and went to small fixed blades iwb.
