Compact size. Classic materials. Built for the outdoors.

The Benchmade North Fork is a purpose-built hunting folder designed for people who want one knife that can handle everything from daily carry to time in the field. With a 2.97” CPM-S30V blade and stabilized maple wood handles, it blends modern performance with a more traditional look.

It’s a knife that feels just as natural in the woods as it does in your pocket.

Built for the Outdoors

The North Fork is designed with real use in mind.

• Compact size for easy carry

• Drop point blade for controlled cutting

• Balanced feel in hand

It’s well-suited for field dressing, camp tasks, and general outdoor use without being oversized.

CPM-S30V Blade

The blade is made from CPM-S30V, a proven steel known for:

• Strong edge retention

• Good corrosion resistance

• Reliable performance in outdoor environments

It’s a steel that holds up well without requiring constant maintenance.

Stabilized Wood Handle

The stabilized maple wood handle brings a classic feel with modern durability.

• Natural wood appearance with added stability

• Resistant to moisture and environmental changes

• Comfortable, warm feel in hand

It gives the knife a more traditional look without sacrificing performance.

AXIS Lock System

Benchmade’s AXIS Lock is one of the most trusted locking systems available.

• Fully ambidextrous operation

• Smooth one-handed opening and closing

• Secure and reliable lockup

It’s simple, effective, and easy to use in any setting.

Built for Everyday Carry

The North Fork carries easily while still being capable.

• Compact overall size

• Lightweight for daily use

• Versatile enough for both EDC and outdoor tasks

It’s a knife that doesn’t need to be swapped out depending on where you are.

Made in the USA

Benchmade manufactures the North Fork in Oregon City, Oregon, maintaining tight control over materials, heat treatment, and assembly.

Why This One Stands Out

The North Fork hits a balance that’s hard to find.

It combines traditional materials, modern steel, and a proven lock system into a compact knife that works just about anywhere.

If you want a USA-made knife that feels at home in the woods but still fits into everyday carry, this one delivers.
