United Cutlery Gil Hibben Chugach Stag Handle German Steel

On the unforgiving and harsh Alaskan coast, the Chugach people have lived for hundreds of years fishing and practising coastal subsistence. With the steadfastness of these Alaskan peoples in mind, Gil Hibben designed the Hibben Chugach Knife to be that fixed blade you don’t leave home without. This special edition is crafted with unique, premium materials. The knife has a razor-sharp, 4 1/2" premium 1.4116 German steel upswept blade with aggressive thumb jimping. This premium stainless steel has a hardness rating of 56-58 HRC and the ability to retain an edge far beyond more common stainless steels, making it well suited for outdoor and field-use utility tasks. The genuine stag handle has brass handle pins, plus a lanyard hole and the hand guard is solid, polished brass. The 8 3/4" overall fixed-blade knife slides securely into a leather belt sheath with a snap-closure handle strap and top-stitching.
