Frequently Asked Questions
What makes CPM-S30V steel good for outdoor use?
CPM-S30V is a premium stainless steel that balances edge retention with corrosion resistance. At 58-60 HRC hardness, it holds a sharp edge through extended cutting tasks while remaining tough enough for outdoor abuse. It also sharpens easily in the field.
How does the leather sheath attach to gear?
The leather sheath features a traditional belt loop design that slides over standard belts up to typical widths. The leather construction molds to your gear over time for a secure, quiet carry.
Is this knife suitable for hunting and processing game?
Yes. The 4.40-inch drop-point blade provides the length and control needed for skinning and processing tasks. The CPM-S30V steel maintains its edge through repeated cutting and cleans easily after use.
What is the handle thickness and grip like?
The handle measures 0.92 inches thick with contoured G10 scales in green and red. The contouring provides secure grip even with wet or gloved hands, while the G10 material resists impact and weather damage.
