Ergonomic design, improving hunting performance.
The ErgoHunter™ series of knives have a new, innovative design exclusive to comfort and control for hunters needing a reliable skinning knife.
The handle design is based on the primary gripping positions during use, to reduce hand fatigue and increase hunting performance. The skinner style blade has a generous belly design that is perfect for skinning applications, and with our new Sandvik™ 12C27Mod steel it will keep its edge until the job is done. This knife is the choice of any hunter.
