Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades New knife from Clint Chisan

I owned a Benchmade Altitude and I really liked the blade design but not the handle. Then I tried a Hogue Extrak and really like the handle but not the blade.
So I asked Clint if he could make me a Magnacut lightweight knife with blade similar to the Altitude and handle similar to the Extrak but with some skeletization like an Argali Carbon knife.

This is what he made for me. The handle is thin but deep enough for good control and has excellent grip. I’m very happy with it and will use it for my backpack hunts.

That’s a cool one. I like the jimping on the spine in those 2 different places. I like the Kydex sheath too.

I looked at the knives you mentioned, and it seems you got a pretty good fusion of their elements. Good on ya! Best of luck in your mountain hunts.

👍👍👍

Saw that when he posted it on IG.

Looks handy.

I like the extrak. Thin blade. Thin handle.

I liked it until it dug into my knuckle.. 😂😂

The kydex is detented into the hole in the handle as well so it is good and snug. It will be very secure to carry handle down on a chest or shoulder strap if I want to.

Yes he did a great job getting the features I asked for. I liked the handle on the Extrak but this is even better than I’d hoped. It has really good grip and feel with the way he textured the G10.

Unfortunately pain and our own blood can change how we feel about tools ha ha.

I used an Extrak to get a goat ready for packing last year and there was something awkward about the blade design for me. I can’t explain what it was but I just knew I liked working with the Benchmade Altitude blade more.

Dittos here, very nice!

That is a nice knife. I have an Argali that is similar but maybe a little smaller .
