Frequently Asked Questions
What makes CPM-S30V steel good for hunting knives?
CPM-S30V is a premium stainless steel that holds a sharp edge longer than standard steels while resisting corrosion from blood and moisture. The 58-60 HRC hardness provides the right balance of edge retention and toughness for field dressing and general hunting tasks.
How does the AXIS lock work?
The AXIS lock uses a spring-loaded bar that moves forward to lock the blade open and retracts to release it. You can operate it one-handed by pulling back on the lock bar while closing the blade.
Can I carry this knife tip-down?
No, the split arrow clip is designed for tip-up carry only. You can reverse it to carry on either the left or right side of your pocket, but it maintains tip-up orientation.
What is Dymondwood and how durable is it?
Dymondwood is natural wood that has been stabilized with resins under pressure. This process makes it more durable and moisture-resistant than untreated wood while keeping the natural grain appearance.
Does this knife come with a sheath?
No, the Crooked River is designed for pocket carry with the included clip. No sheath is provided.
