Designed for those who cook without limits, this is the knife that goes wherever the wild takes you. Over time, Richlite®, a paper composite material, will develop a natural patina, altering the original color of the material. \"Patina” is a natural occurrence in the product that can either darken or lighten depending on exposure to light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMEET THE Wildcoast™\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned with purpose and built to last, the Wildcoast™ sets a high bar for durability and performance matched only by our promise that it will be yours, for life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBLADE STYLE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eClip-Point\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlade contains a sharp beak, typically forward of the midpoint, as if the tip has been “clipped off.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBLADE STEEL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCPM-154 Stainless Steel (58-61HRC)\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis powder-metal version of conventional 154CM steel has a much finer microstructure with smaller carbide particles than its counterpart, resulting in improved toughness and strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHANDLE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRichlite\/G10\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed as a lightweight construction material for decades, Richlite is a durable, multi-layer fibrous paper composite that can be dyed in a wide array of colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOPENING ACTION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFixed\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese knives do not fold and typically include a sheath to protect the edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e \u003ccol\u003e \u003ccol\u003e \u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eopen length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11.79'' | 29.95cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eblade length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.83'' | 17.35cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eblade thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.114'' | 2.9mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ehandle thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.61'' | 15.49mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003emechanism\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFixed Blade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eblade style\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClip-Point\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ehandle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRichlite\/G10\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eblade finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStonewash Polish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eblade color\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSatin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eambidextrous\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ehandle material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRichlite\/G10\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ehandle color\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaple Valley\\Black Bolster\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003elanyard hole\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eblade steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCPM-154 Stainless Steel (58-61HRC)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eweight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.26oz | 177.47g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003esheath\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMolded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003esheath weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.83oz (51.88g)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHOW IT'S MADE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Benchmade knife begins with high-grade steel, laser-cut for precision and strength.

Here are some tips for keeping your Benchmade in peak condition: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e• Prevent Rust:\u003c\/b\u003e  All steels, regardless of grade or price, can eventually rust. To avoid corrosion, always keep your knife clean, dry, and lightly lubricated. If rust or spotting appears, a quality semi-chrome metal polish can usually restore the finish. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e• Hand-Wash Only:\u003c\/b\u003e  Always hand-wash your knife with warm water and mild dish soap, then dry thoroughly. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e• Use as Intended:\u003c\/b\u003e  Benchmade knives are precision cutting tools. Do not use your knife as a pry-bar, screwdriver, chisel, or punch—unless specifically designed for those functions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e• Sharpen with Care:\u003c\/b\u003e  If sharpening at home, avoid grinding wheels and high-speed machinery, as they can damage the blade. Use appropriate hand-sharpening methods for best results. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e• Tighten Hardware:\u003c\/b\u003e  Over time, handle, pivot, and pocket clip screws may loosen. Use T6 and T10 Torx drivers for adjustments and apply a small amount of releasable thread-locker to maintain secure fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Benchmade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42638748188766,"sku":"'4070-02","price":350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0170\/8972\/4516\/files\/benchmade-benchmade-wildcoast.webp?v=1776181881","url":"https:\/\/www.appalachianoutfitters.com\/products\/benchmade-wildcoast-4070-02","provider":"Appalachian Outfitters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
