Stag Chugach Hunter | Gil Hibben – Fixed blade hunting knife with drop point profile

The Stag Chugach Hunter is a fixed blade hunting knife featuring a 11.43cm drop point blade made from 420HC steel. This knife combines a mirror-polished finish with traditional stag antler handle construction, weighing 292g with an overall length of 22.23cm.

Construction and materials

The blade utilises 420HC stainless steel hardened to 58 HRC, offering a balance between edge retention and maintenance requirements. The plain-edge blade features a mirror-polished chrome finish. The handle incorporates genuine stag antler with brass guard construction for secure handling during field use.

Application and use

This hunting knife suits field dressing, general camp tasks, and bushcraft applications. The drop point blade geometry provides controlled cutting with a strong tip suitable for detailed work. The included leather sheath enables secure carry during outdoor activities.

Integration and compatibility

As a fixed blade design, this knife requires no assembly or additional components. The traditional tang construction ensures full integration between blade and handle. The sheath accommodates the knife's specific dimensions and guard profile.

Maintenance and lifecycle

The 420HC steel composition provides moderate corrosion resistance but requires regular cleaning and light oiling after use. The mirror-polished finish may show wear patterns with extended field use. Natural antler handles benefit from occasional conditioning to prevent drying.
