Laser-cut from sheets of high-grade steel, every Benchmade blade is ground, beveled, and finished with uncompromising precision. We mill and machine handles in-house to the most exacting specifications, and every knife is hand-assembled and sharpened by highly trained technicians bringing to bear over thirty years of manufacturing excellence in our state-of-the-art factory in Oregon City, Oregon.

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.
