Cold Steel Drop Forged Hunter Hunting Knife (36M)

Drop Forged Hunter, Hunting Knife with Leather Sheath

While on a research trip in Argentina, Cold Steel President Lynn C. Thompson had the pleasure of using a solid steel hunting knife
by French knife maker Michel Achez. He was incredibly impressed by Monsieur Achez's knife, which was both simple in design and
astonishingly functional. Inspired by Michel's work (and with his blessing), Lynn began exploring how to bring this classic hunter
to a larger audience. 

Cold Steel's Drop Forged Hunter is expertly heat-treated and drop-forged from 52100 high carbon steel with a Rockwell hardness of
58-59 for superior toughness. Its continuously curved, super-wide blade is both sharp and strong, designed to put in great work in
even the most demanding conditions. 

With no handle to break or no superfluous parts to rot, crack or get damaged in the field, the Drop Forged Hunter is a no-nonsense
hard-working outdoor/hunting knife and survival tool. 

Its ergonomic handle with integral finger guard deep comfortable trough and lanyard hole, offers a very secure and comfortable
grip, even when wearing thick, heavy workman's gloves. 

Supplied with a thick, traditional leather sheath, the Drop Forged Hunter is sure to be appreciated and valued by real hunters who
will marvel as its performance and value for money.

52100 High Carbon Steel 

52100 High Carbon is a hard-wearing steel which is an excellent choice for custom hunting and outdoor fixed blades. Often used by
custom knife makers in forged blades that require toughness and wear resistance in unforgiving conditions.
