Black Hunter | Elk Ridge – Fixed blade outdoor knife with 22cm drop point

The Black Hunter from Elk Ridge is a fixed blade knife designed for outdoor applications. Features a 22cm drop point blade in 5Cr15 stainless steel with polished finish. Total length measures 36cm with a weight of 590g.

Construction and materials

The blade utilises 5Cr15 stainless steel with a plain edge grind and polished surface treatment. The black wooden handle provides natural grip texture. At 0.59kg, this fixed blade offers substantial heft for heavy-duty cutting tasks whilst maintaining balance between the 22cm blade and handle section.

Application and use

This fixed blade knife suits bushcraft, hunting and general outdoor work. The drop point profile handles both precision cutting and heavier tasks like batoning wood or field dressing game. The plain edge configuration works effectively on rope, wood and food preparation tasks common in outdoor environments.

Integration and compatibility

As a fixed blade design, no locking mechanism or opening system is required. The 36cm overall length requires appropriate sheath selection for safe carry. The substantial 590g weight may impact ultralight loadouts but provides momentum for chopping tasks.

Maintenance and lifecycle

The 5Cr15 stainless steel requires minimal maintenance – rinse and dry after use. The polished blade finish resists debris adhesion. Monthly sharpening maintains optimal edge geometry on the plain edge grind. Wooden handle benefits from occasional oiling to prevent drying.
