Blue class Benchmade Rant?

[HuntersHikes]

this isn't a question so much as it's a random topic of conversation...Benchmade seems to consistently put out some of the best folders on the market, yet they really don't have much of a line of fixed blades...some nice black class defense and mil-spec knives, but their only nice outdoors/hunting knives are the Rant models in the red class, which is their lower class...I would have to imagine that a blue class Rant in 154cm or S30V or any other high-end steel would be a pretty amazing hunting/camping/survival knife...what do we have to do to get one?

The Rant is actually made here in the USA and in my opinion is just as high of quality as a Blue Class. Don't forget the Activator and Activator+, both of which are Blue Class and make for nice hunting/camping knives.

BM recently partnered with some makers that are known for their fixed blade designs and BM also recently discontinued some of their fixed blade models. So expect to see some new BM fixed blades in the next couple months. I'm anxious to see what they will be coming out with.

Yep, the Activator+ or CSKII would be where I'd look, seeing as I own a couple of Nimravii already.

What about the Ritter fixed blade in S30v? Or fixed griptilian in D2 from cabelas?
