Experience from the Shogun team

During a multi-day bushcraft trip, we noticed how comfortable this knife feels, even after hours of use. Skinning game was effortless thanks to the razor-sharp blade. However, we did find that the antler can become slippery in wet conditions.

Performance and sharpness of this hunting knife

The 420HC steel with a hardness of 58 HRC holds its edge exceptionally well. This American material is known for its balance between hardness and ease of maintenance. The mirror-polished finish gives it a stunning appearance. The drop point blade cuts effortlessly through rope, wood, and is ideal for preparing food.

Grip and ease of use

The handle made from genuine stag antler fits naturally in the hand and offers an ergonomic grip. The solid brass guard ensures safety during intensive use. The weight of 292 grams gives the knife a perfect balance between sturdiness and manoeuvrability.

Who is this hunting knife suitable for?

This knife is ideal for the experienced hunter or bushcrafter who values traditional materials and reliable performance. Collectors of Gil Hibben knives will also appreciate this model for its authentic appearance and craftsmanship.

Maintenance and durability

The 420HC steel is reasonably rust-resistant, but does require regular maintenance. Wipe the knife dry after use and lightly oil the blade. The blade finish is scratch-resistant but may show some wear with intensive use. The included leather sheath provides excellent protection for the knife.
