The Benchmade Leuku 202 is a robust Leuku-style bushcraft knife. The Leuko is traditionally from Scandinavia where it is an all-round outdoor knife. It is used for bushcraft tasks, but also for hunting or for odd jobs around the house. This Benchmade Leuku is a very modern interpretation of this classic.
This Benchmade Leuku is a slightly larger version of the famous Benchmade Puukko.
Benchmade has gone to great lengths to turn this Leuku into a very robust knife. The wooden handle was replaced by the Santoprene. This is a rubber-like plastic that can take a few blows. Moreover, it is very comfortable in hand. It offers you enough grip even in wet circumstances. The subtle texture of the handle contributes to this.
The blade is made from CPM 3V. And with good reason. That is one of the toughest and most robust type of steels at the moment. This steel can easily handle heavy-duty use. In addition, it retains its sharpness well and is relatively easy to sharpen. It is also important to know that CPM 3V is not 100% stainless. Salt, acids and moisture can leave you with some discolourations or even corrosion. But with normal use and maintenance this should not be a problem.
Where traditional Leuku’s often have a full scandi edge, Benchmade has provided its Leuku with a grind that looks like it. You will find a secondary edge at the end.
You can safely carry the Benchmade 202 Leuku in the included leather sheath. This is equipped with a fairly wide belt loop, with a second belt loop that also serves as a dangler This makes it easier for you to squat or sit down when you carry the knife on your belt. The sheath is enhanced with a loop to make sure you can add a firesteel.

Throws good sparks,Jonas Kariniauskas, VilniusMonday, 14 February 2022,In generalValue for moneyExpectationsSuper knife. If needed – easy to modernise. Highly recomended.,Eddie88 , LlandysulFriday, 26 November 2021,In generalValue for moneyExpectationsLiked the Pukko, love the Leuku. CPM-3V is one of my favourite steels. Santropene handle is comfortable and grippy, even when wet. Sheath retentionis a lot better than my Benchmade Pukko as the Pukko would fall out if turned upside down. Really like the fact that it DOESN'T have a scandi grind. 4½ stars for expectation as it doesn't strike a ferro rod as well as expected but a few passes on the Worksharp sorted that out. ,See all reviewsSpecificationsGeneral information;Brand,Benchmade,Colour,grey, green,Can be engravedYes,Warranty on materials and manufacturing defectslifetime,Series,Blue Class,Country of originUnited States,Article number,BE202,Dimensions & weight;Blade height2.7 cm,Blade length13.2 cm,Blade thickness3.5 mm,Handle length,11.3 cm,Length,24.5 cm,Weight150 g,Material;Material handle,SantoPrene,Material sheath / pouch,leather,Type of steel,CPM 3V,Features & functions;Finish blade,stonewashed,Type of knife,bushcrafting knife, hunting knife,Best usebushcraft, cooking, hunting, survival,Blade shape,drop point,Type of edgeplain edge,Sharpening angle20º,Way of sharpeningflat, Secondary V-edge,Scope of delivery;Sheath,Yes.
