Benchmade 430BK Redoubt Knife

The 430BK Redoubt Knife from Benchmade not only boasts good old American manufacturing, but appropriately provides a good no-nonsense function forwardness lost in a lot of new EDC pieces. Its CPM D2 steel blade flaunts excellent wear resistance and edge retention, way more than a regular D2 blade, and has a fine matte textured look to it.

It’s a classic drop-point design, built with a thick spine, offering more strength with less force, effective on everything from tough ropes to soft fruit. Partner that with a 100% corrosion-resistant grivory handle, easy on bare grips even in the heat, and you’ve got an unkillable John McClane of a knife at your disposal.
