The **Benchmade Altitude** is an incredibly light fixed knife made from amazing materials. Benchmade has added the Altitude to the *Hunting* collection. Nevertheless, the name probably already suggests were the inspiration came from: mountaineering. After all, with a weight of only 47 grams (70 grams with sheath) it is a very light-weight option.


If you are looking to save some weight you definitely don’t want to bring sharpening stones to join you on your adventure. For this reason Benchmade has chosen a wonderful type of steel for this pocket knife: CPM S90V. This is a stainless type of steel that retains its sharpness really well. As such you rarely have to sharpen the knife which is great when you are on the road. However, leaving it out and close to salt or fruit acids could create some spots over time. For this reason Benchmade has enhanced the altitude with a bright-orange DLC coating to also make sure you won’t lose it that easily. DLC stands for Diamond Like Coating. An incredibly hard coating that is also very sustainable.


Because the thin handle doesn’t provide much grip Benchmade has enhanced it with a small block of carbon fibre. It doesn’t seem much, but once you start using it you will notice the enormous effect the little block has on the ergonomics of the knife. In addition, the handle takes care of enough grip for the kydex sheath.

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_handle_length

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

Weight

Dimensions & weight

value_steel_hardness

Best use

This concerns the type of edge [Want to learn more about a serrated versus a plain edge](/en/ct/pocket-knives-difference-plain-edge-serrated.htm)?

Type of edge

molle_compatible

MOLLE is a mounting system that allows you to attach sheaths and other accessories to backpacks. With this specification we indicate whether a product is already MOLLE-compatible by default. [Want to learn more MOLLE](/en/ct/what-is-molle.htm)?

MOLLE-compatible

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).
