Description
Benchmade 203BT-01 Dacian Fixed Blade Knife
The Benchmade 203BT-01 Dacian is the blue Cerakote variant of Benchmade's pocket-carry fixed blade. Its 3.54" full-tang spear point is cut from CPM-MagnaCut at 60-62 HRC, a modern powder stainless that manages high edge retention and genuine corrosion resistance at the same time, then finished in blue titanium Cerakote. The brown canvas Micarta handle is contoured with deep finger grooves so the knife stays put whether you are choking up for detail work or gripping it hard.
The Benchmade 203BT-01 Dacian is small and light for a fixed blade at roughly 3.37 oz and about 7.57" overall, and it ships with an ambidextrous sheath that carries in a pocket or on a belt. That combination is the whole point of the Dacian: fixed-blade strength and simplicity without the bulk that usually comes with it.
