What's the best steel for a 4"-8" hunting knife in drop point or clip point blade when it comes to sturdyness, sharpness, edge holding and toughness?
"What would it take to make the ultimate field knife?" We think that we have answered this question with the introduction of the X-42 Field Knife. It is constructed from an exotic, stainless steel called BG-42 that custom knife makers have raved about. BG-42 is extremely tough, hard, durable, and takes an incredible edge. The drop point, flat ground blade is perfectly shaped and balanced for hunting, fishing, and camping chores.The full tang handle is a sandwich of zytel glass reinforced slabs and steel while the finger grips and handle's geometry provide a secure feel with or without gloves on. The X-42 Field Knife scabbard is high grade leather that is designed for a friction fit with retention strap.
