Benchmade River & Rescue Knife - Fighting Knife or Not?

The Benchmade River & Rescue fixed blade knife is not your average fighting knife. As a matter of fact, it’s more of an emergency workers tool. I think this is one of the most practical emergency knives available on the market today.
Benchmade has done an excellent job with the River & Rescue fixed blade knife. This knife features an H1 steel blade with a combo edge and a stonewashed finish. This stainless steel blade that will hold an edge very well.
The blade length of this knife is 3.23 inches and the overall length of this knife is 7.5 inches. The handle is made of a super tough G10 material.
This Benchmade rescue knife comes with the standard Benchmade kydex sheath. This sheath is absolutely indestructible. This is perfect for rescue work.
Like I said, this is not a fighting knife. However, situation always dictates how you use your tools. In emergency work, there are at many times, personal threats on your safety. These threats can come in the form of a ticked off criminal. You can become the target of that criminal very quickly.
I’ll be the first to tell you that a Benchmade River & Rescue fixed blade knife can be a massive asset when it comes to self defense, should the need arise.
Benchmade has always made high quality knives. Many Benchmade knives often become collectible items. When a company, such as Benchmade, exceeds the expectations of the buyer, their product becomes very popular and collectible.
The Benchmade River & Rescue fixed blade knife is no exception. This is a very high quality knife. This knife has been tried, tested and has surpassed the emergency workers needs.
If you’re in the market for a rescue knife that can double as a fighting match of the situation arise, I’d have to recommend this one.

Well, I’ll be damned! I’ve been trying to figure out what I have a cheap copy of for weeks. I picked up a “Whale” by Fury, believe it or not, when I saw one in a knife shop and was intrigued that such a cheap knife had micarta scales and such an unusual profile. Very similar except that it’s 4″ and plain-edged. I looked everywhere for a blade of similar configuration and wound up calling it my “tactical field santoku” because of the blunt-nosed drop-point profile. I’ll probably review it on KnifeBlabber but link back to the K&S page for this Benchmade, since it’s better, and you can’t really find the Whale online. Thanks for the review.
