Benchmade Crooked River
Classic style meets cutting-edge performance. The Crooked River sets the bar high for modern re-interpretations of traditional knife design by combining the instantly-recognizable clip-point profile of western hunting knives with precision-manufactured components. Featuring CPM-S30V blade steel, grey aluminum bolsters, hi-vis orange accents, and stabilized wood handle scales, the Crooked River pushes the preconceived notions of what a hunting knife should be.

Use and Care:
Proper care and regular maintenance help make your Benchmade knife yours, for life. Here are some tips for keeping your Benchmade in peak condition:
• All steel, regardless of price and grade, can eventually rust, so it’s important to keep your knife dry and lubricated. If spotting or rust occurs, semi-chrome metal polish will often take care of it.
• Dishwashers can cause serious damage that is not covered under our warranty, so make sure to hand-wash your Benchmade under warm water with dish soap only, and dry thoroughly.
• Remember, knives are cutting tools, and you should never use your knife as a pry-bar, screwdriver, chisel, or punch, unless the knife is designed explicitly for those purposes.
• If you choose to sharpen your blade yourself, avoid grinding wheels and other high-powered machinery.
• Handle, pivot, and pocket clip screws may require occasional adjustment using T6 & T10 Torx drivers. We recommend applying a small dab of releasable thread-locker as needed.
