Elk Ridge Rainbow Pocket Knife | SHOGUN

Rainbow Hunter Elk Ridge – Striking pocket knife for everyday use

The Rainbow Hunter by Elk Ridge is a compact pocket knife with a unique rainbow finish, perfect for EDC use. With its droppoint blade shape of 6.35 cm and spring-assisted opening, you always have a reliable tool within reach. The pocket clip ensures this lightweight knife (121 grams) can be carried safely and discreetly.

Experience from the Shogun team

During a weekend camping trip, we tested the Rainbow Hunter extensively. The spring mechanism worked smoothly even with cold fingers, and the ergonomic grip provided good control when cutting rope and preparing meals. The rainbow coating did attract some fingerprints.

Performance and sharpness of this pocket knife

The 3Cr13 stainless steel blade comes razor-sharp out of the box. This Chinese steel offers a good balance between sharpness and ease of maintenance. The plain-edge grind and droppoint shape make it suitable for precision work with rope, cardboard, and food. The 3mm thick blade is sturdy enough for daily tasks.

Grip and ease of use

The handle sits comfortably in the hand, even during prolonged use. The spring-assisted opening mechanism makes one-handed opening easy and quick. The linerlock locking mechanism keeps the blade securely in place during use, providing extra safety.

Who is this pocket knife suitable for?

This pocket knife is ideal for beginners looking for an affordable EDC knife without compromising on functionality. Collectors who appreciate striking designs will also value the unique rainbow blade finish. For intensive bushcraft use, we recommend a heavier model with premium steel.

Maintenance and durability

The stainless steel requires minimal maintenance – regular wiping with a cloth and an occasional drop of oil on the hinge is sufficient. The rainbow coating is durable but may show slight wear with intensive use. Sharpen the blade with a fine stone when sharpness decreases.
