The BM162 is a premium fixed-blade straight knife built for serious everyday carry, outdoor adventures, and emergency preparedness.

Compact enough for daily carry at 23cm total length, yet substantial enough to handle real-world cutting tasks. Comes with a knife sheath for safe storage and transport.

Why D2 Steel?

D2 tool steel is a high-carbon, high-chromium steel widely regarded as one of the best blade materials for fixed knives that need to balance hardness, toughness, and edge retention:

Exceptional Edge Retention — D2 holds a sharp edge far longer than standard stainless steels, reducing how often you need to sharpen.
High Hardness — Typically heat-treated to HRC60–62, making it resistant to deformation under heavy use.
Semi-Stainless Properties — High chromium content (11–13%) provides good corrosion resistance for a tool steel, though not fully stainless.
Tough & Durable — Handles lateral stress and hard-use tasks better than many harder steels.

Why G10 Handle?

G10 is a fiberglass-based composite material used on premium knives and firearms for its outstanding combination of properties:

Extremely Lightweight — Adds minimal weight while maintaining structural rigidity.
Textured Grip — Provides secure, non-slip grip even when wet, muddy, or wearing gloves.
Impervious to Moisture — Does not absorb water, swell, or warp like wood handles.
Highly Durable — Resistant to impact, chemicals, and temperature extremes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is D2 steel and is it good for knives?
D2 is a high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel known for exceptional hardness (HRC60–62) and edge retention. It’s a popular choice for fixed-blade knives because it holds a sharp edge longer than most stainless steels while still being tough enough to handle hard use. It requires slightly more care than fully stainless steel to prevent surface rust, but is considered semi-stainless due to its high chromium content.

What is G10 and why is it used on knife handles?
G10 is a high-pressure fiberglass laminate used on premium knives and tactical gear. It’s valued for being extremely lightweight, moisture-resistant, and providing a secure textured grip in all conditions — including wet or cold environments where other handle materials can become slippery.

Is a fixed blade knife better than a folding knife for camping?
For heavy outdoor use, fixed blade knives are generally preferred over folding knives because they have no pivot point or locking mechanism that can fail under stress. A fixed blade is stronger, easier to clean, and more reliable in demanding conditions.

Does this knife come with a sheath?
Yes. The BM162 includes a knife sheath for safe carry and storage.
