Frequently Asked Questions
What makes CPM-CruWear steel good for hunting knives?
CPM-CruWear is a premium tool steel that balances edge retention with toughness. The 63-65 HRC hardness provides excellent cutting performance while maintaining durability for field processing tasks.
How does the carbon fiber handle perform in wet conditions?
Carbon fiber provides excellent grip even when wet and resists temperature changes that can affect other handle materials. The material also keeps the overall weight down for extended carry.
What type of sheath comes with the Raghorn?
The knife includes a Boltaron sheath. Boltaron is a durable thermoplastic that provides secure retention while resisting impact and environmental damage.
Is this knife suitable for everyday carry?
The Raghorn is designed specifically for hunting applications. While the quality is excellent, the blade length and specialized design make it better suited for hunting and outdoor processing tasks rather than general EDC use.
Does the orange coating affect blade performance?
The Cerakote finish is applied as a thin, hard coating that does not negatively impact cutting performance. The high-visibility orange color helps prevent loss in field environments while providing corrosion protection.
