Benchmade Grizzly Creek 15062

Folding HunterFolding

Despite the similar name, the Grizzly Creek is a separate, wood-handled design and not a replacement for the retired Grizzly Ridge. It runs a 3.49" CPM-S30V drop point with an AXIS lock and stabilized wood scales. At 4.18 oz and $325 it is a heavy, expensive folding hunter.

Why a drop point

The default hunting and EDC shape, and the safest general answer. The spine curves down to the tip in a convex line, which keeps the point low and strong and leaves plenty of belly for skinning. It is hard to make a drop point bad at anything.

1-5 is a relative ranking drawn from published composition and hardness, not a lab measurement. Higher is better on every axis, and no steel is a 5 across the board — edge retention and toughness pull against each other. All CPM-S30V knives
