The Cold Steel Master Hunter features an extra broad American CPM-3V High Carbon Steel blade honed by hand to a razor sharpness. The Master Hunter’s curved cutting edge slices effortlessly through even the toughest hide, while its stout but sharp drop point makes field dressing and skinning a breeze. The spine of the blade is a full 3/16″ thick to allow for the necessary strength and stiffness to field dress and skin even the biggest animals. The grip is specially designed to promote long use without fatigue. Made of the shock absorbent Kray-Ex™, and featuring our deeply checkered surface, it won’t slip no matter how cold, wet or bloody your hands get, and it will give you a positive and secure purchase on your blade even when wearing thick gloves. Plus, Kray-Ex™ has specially enduring advantages for a hunter, in that it will never rot, shrink, crack, splinter, or mildew, and is completely impervious to even the harshest weather. For safety, the Master Hunter comes in a adaptable and versatile Secure-Ex™ sheath that will accommodate just about any belt, pack or rig.
