Frequently Asked Questions

What makes CPM-S30V steel good for hunting knives?

CPM-S30V is a premium stainless steel that holds a sharp edge well while resisting corrosion. The 58-60 HRC hardness provides the right balance of edge retention and toughness for field dressing and skinning tasks.

How do I care for the stabilized wood handle?

Stabilized wood handles are sealed and moisture-resistant. Clean with mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly. The stabilization process makes the wood more durable than natural wood handles.

What is the hook feature used for?

The hook on the blade spine helps with specific skinning techniques, allowing hunters to make precise cuts when separating hide from meat during field dressing.

Is the leather sheath suitable for field carry?

Yes, the updated leather sheath design is built to protect the blade during hunting trips and provides secure retention for safe carry in the field.
