Brand new, direct from Benchmade Knives

The Blade: The drop point blade deploys fast and smooth on phosphor bronze washers utilizing dual, bright Orange anodized thumb studs for fully ambidextrous operation. The high height saber grind provides a thin, slicing edge with a robust spine thickness for a great combination of toughness and cutting performance. The slightly recurved plain edge provides clean slicing performance and plenty of belly for gutting and skinning tasks. A satin tumbled S30V blade delivers a balance of toughness, edge retention and corrosion resistance for optimal behavior in the field.

The Handle: .The contoured handles are made from tough, light weight and textured Orange Grivory with warm grey Versaflex overmold which offers a non-slip grip in the worst conditions. The bright orange textured Grivory along with other orange highlights help make the Grizzly Ridge easy to find standing out in the earth tones of the great outdoors. Stainless steel liners make a rock solid foundation for this compact, utilitarian folder. An open back construction reduces weight and makes cleaning out the knife a breeze. The AXIS lock provides true ambidextrous operation and some of the most secure lockup in the industry.

The Grizzly Ridge carries via a reversible (tip-up), stainless steel, "Split Arrow" pocket clip that comes in a Black Oxide finish for discreet carry.

CPM S30V: A martensitic, powdered stainless steel with high levels of wear and corrosion resistance. Its chemistry promotes the formation and even distribution of vanadium carbides, which are harder and more effective at cutting than chromium carbides. This gives it a very refined grain, further improving the sharpness and toughness. S30V is a great, all around steel with high levels of performance.
