New Daily Carry Fixed Blade Arrives Today from Benchmade

Benchmade has just released a brand new fixed blade, out the blue (pun intended). This is the Dacian, afixed blade with a utilitarian blade shape and everyday carry dimensions.

Most Benchmade fixed blades fall into dedicated niches: outdoors tools, tactical blades, kitchen knives. The Dacian, by contrast, expressly targets everyday carry needs, a fixed blade alternative for a role more commonly the domain of folders. It certainly delivers in terms of specifications with a practical spear point blade, most of which’s 3.54-inch length is a gradual curve out to a pierce-capable, elongated tip. Chunky jimping topside along the spine provides multiple places for indexing during detail-intensive matter separation – always a consideration in a daily cutter.

The dark blue blade coating is striking

In bringing us the Dacian, Benchmade also took the opportunity to add another helping of MagnaCut to their lineup. They recently also brought it to a company classic the the burnt bronze Osborne models, and it was a selling point on the new PSK folder; it’s also the featured steel in the Benchmade’s Water Series. Needless to say CPM MagnaCut fits the EDC job description like a glove, with a performance readout that, not to too put too fine a point on it (again, pun intended), has set the bar for current-gen knife super steels.

Handle-wise, we’ve got a variant on the classic bracket profile, with a straight back spine, a swell on the bottom side, and more of that extra large jimping around the butt end – which is where we see the lanyard hole, shaped like a hex driver. The scales are Micarta, either a blue denim flavor or brown canvas – if you go with the later, you also get a dark blue titanium nitride-coated blade. Both Dacians come with a pocket clip-equipped Kydex sheath, helping drive home the EDC fixed blade concept.

This one is available right now.
