I don't understand this knife. Is this a hollow ground stainless steel bushcraft knife? Why would anyone want that?

Stainless, flat ground. Perfect size for many jobs, size just right for easy handling. Retains edge very well.

this knife is not hollow ground, its a saber grind. its a pretty good knife. S30v steel is pretty good, not great.

Don't be mad the knife wasn't trying to confuse you. I have one and mine is very understandable. To answer your question no it is not a hollow ground stainless steel bushcraft knife. As for your second question I too am perplexed as to why anyone would want that. Though this is not a hollow ground it is in fact a bushcraft knife and the vast majority of the knife is stainless steel ( s30v stainless to be precise) and the edge is high ground. I hope this clears things up

It holds an edge well, I have dressed out 2 deer and it still has a edge. Has a comfortable grip.

Not hollow ground, flat ground. But it is stainless. Still haven't really used mine, except playing around in the kitchen preparing food. Seems good so far. Did have to round off some g10 from the back of the handle to make it more comfortable to use.

It is listed as a "high ground" (not 'hollow' or 'flat'), but can be compared to a "modified scandi grind". This just means that the angle of the Scandi grind has been lowered, raising the bevel closer to the spine of the knife. If this bevel goes all the way to the edge (and has no secondary bevel or micro bevel), it is an excellent edge retaining profile.

Unlike the current trendy "scandi grind carbon steel" that collectors are seeking, this knife has a saber grind and a quality stainless blade that is perfect for field work. The extra material in the spine (as opposed to the scandi grind) and the easier sharpening (as opposed to the scandi grind) as well as easier care and less oxidation damage (stainless does still rust, just more slowly) make this a far more practical tool than the current trend preached by the Internet gurus. If you actually plan to use your knife, in the field, in the weather, sometime without enough time/light/energy to clean it constantly, then this is the knife you want.

in real life non-knife expert terms, this is a fixed blade knife with a cool sheath and a blade made from a stainless metal that stays sharp and is highly rust inhibitive. why would anyone want a sharp knife that doesnt rust that has a high carry sheath? the only reason that i dont have one is that it is nearly $200 and it is hard to knock the benchmade steep country from its place on my hip.

I'm using Amazon app on my phone, I dint have the same view you have. My knife came dark hickory handle and the blade has grooves in it. When it came the blade was shinier and almost silver, after wash and oil with veg oil it looks more like traditional carbon steel. This is the knife my grandma had.

The one I received was hollow ground. Also, the steel is CPM S30V unlike what it says in the description.

Its made of 420 stainless. Hold an edge like you would believe. I also have the SOG tomohawk. It is great for the second Axe. It does with a!quick release sheath. Check it out, they complent each other.

This is a serious knife, as a parent this your choice. It would be a great knife for a scout or if your kid is a camper. It has a strong blade and will take the abuse. It is high carbon steel so it can rust if not cared for. It's also a way to teach him or her how to sharpen or care for a knife. I hope this helps.

Honestly I do not know nor was I even aware of such an issue. My knife is very well made, feels great in the hand, quality of blade & sheath is better than I expected for the price. I am a small collector of edged weapons (swords/knives/spears/axes etc.), I have approximately 150+ items, I only use a few, I have 4-5 folders for EDC & 3-4 fixed blade knives & 3 machetes & 2 swords that I use or would use for SHTF events, the rest is just for viewing. BTW all my blades are qualified as BATTLE READY, no stainless steel swords etc.

The blade is stamped Stainless. I used it as an axe on an 6-8" diameter log during a camping trip and was surprised how well it did.

It really is an awesome knife he would love it. Theres a few different blade options you'd have to choose from. Personally I did the one without any serration and I did the curved edge one instead of the tanto blade style. Honestly I would do the non serrated curved one but thats up to you haha. Also they have it in a tan color like a desert tan so maybe that would be cool for someone in the military, or olive green. I did the black and love it. I could go on and on about it but for the money, its the best pocket knife i've ever owned :D. If you do let me know how he liked it!?

Welp, I can't say for sure but I imagine the handle is hollow. Take the answers of the other guys commenting. The butt end of the knife has a clip to attach to an AR barrel. The knife is likely hollow but there is no open end to it.

it's a modified ulu with a gut hook. not a bad design, minus the hook, pommel spike and spine claws. if it was reproduced in a high carbon steel and given a respectable temper and handle scales, it would be a very effective knife.

bought mine at an establishment that sharpens for lfe if purchased through them... sorry i can tell ya its a hhelluva knife i believe bests the famous bk2 covers more of the combat side of things

all I know is that it is a stainless steel. This knife sharpens well and just needs wiped off after a hard days use. Mine came extremely sharp. The handle is very comfortable in the hand also. The sheath is crap like all Mora sheaths, I made a leather one for mine. Hope this helps.

Hahaha. Why don't you buy the knife and find out. It is one of the worlds worst knifes. Do not buy.

It has a shallow radiused hollow grind with a secondary edge grind. In my opinion this allows the knife to be robust enough for chopping yet have a thin enough edge with for slicing.
