A knife is your backcountry best friend. Whether you're out on an ATV, riding some singletrack, off on an adventure in your UTV chasing big, majestic animals with your bow, or just heading out on the water, a pocket knife, in my experience, is worth its weight in gold. And that's especially true of a good pocket knife.
Knives that not only stay sharp but don't knick easily, have a good retention clip, and fold upon command are hard to come by these days, as you'll always find trade-offs of one attribute or another. Few do everything, and few do all those with a lifetime guarantee. But Benchmade has always been some of the best around, and the brand routinely puts out knives that tick every box.
