The stonewash finish not only enhances its resilience but also adds a rugged, refined look that speaks to its premium craftsmanship. Every slice is clean, controlled, and efficient, thanks to the knife’s excellent balance and slim .09” blade thickness.
At just 2.71 ounces, the Meatcrafter feels almost weightless in hand, yet it’s strong enough to handle demanding tasks.

Its subtle contouring sits naturally in the palm, making long sessions of slicing or trimming far less fatiguing.
Functionality is at the forefront of this design, and Benchmade has paired the Meatcrafter with a Boltaron sheath complete with a belt loop. This sheath isn’t just for protection; it’s designed for practicality and portability. The belt loop makes it easy to carry on your hip during outdoor excursions, ensuring that your knife is always close at hand. Boltaron, known for its toughness and resistance to impact, ensures your blade is kept safe and secure, ready to perform when you need it most.
