Benchmade 915 Triage Mini-Reveiw

Well Here It Is, the Benchmade 915 Triage Review.

For starters I would like to point out that this is not going to be a full review. There are two reasons for this, the first reason is that there are plenty of great in-depth reviews out there, might I recommend the Nutnfancy review on the YouTubes, the second reason is that I have not been using this blade quite long enough to do a full review, maybe after camping season.

Right then, lets get on with why this knife is rockin' my pocket. First and foremost, let's talk about the elephant in the room, IT'S ORANGE, VERY ORANGE!!! Well truth be told, I bought the black on black one to begin with, but given the fact that ninety percent of my knives are black on black, I returned it and got the orange instead. In the following photos I will show just how visible it is when dropped in environments that I frequent.

So the next question should be, "How orange will it make my pockets look?" Not very, as it turns out. The deep carry clip keeps the knife fairly out of sight.

"Well that's all great, but how well does it cut stuff?" you may be asking. I love this blade! Plain and simple the modified sheep's foot blade is great. This is the main reason that I bought this knife, the only thing that I would change is a slightly sharper point, but I knew this going into the knife. When compared to the Mini-Griptillians, you can see just how blunt the point is. Don't get me wrong, it's a long ways from unusable, just not ideal for piercing tasks. The good news is that I very rarely use a knife for piercing tasks. The steel is top notch, just what I expect from Benchmade. It gets an edge fast and holds it quite well. The majority of what I cut is wood stakes and cardboard. Small tasks for this blade, but it retains it edge quite well.

 The seat belt cutter is exceptionaly sharp, I have only used it for some paracord cutting to test it, but I think it can handle about anything that you happen to run it across. I am eager to see of it is capable of being used as a gut hook, I see no problems with this task.

Size wise, it is what I would call a large folder. As you can see from the next photo it is quite similar in size to the Nim Cub 2, and quite larger than the Mini-Grip. It is a very thin knife, it rides in your pocket well and stays out of the way. The clip leaves a bit to be desired, I wish that it was a little stiffer, it seems that the clip would bend easily.

All in all, I think that this is a great knife and would fit in anyone's EDC. I intend on carrying this blade until the next best thing rolls down the pipes. Thanks for reading. Up next is going to a project, I am thinking something easy and paracord.
