Tundra Hunter | Gil Hibben – Full-tang bushcraft knife with 16.5cm blade

The Tundra Hunter is a full-tang bushcraft knife featuring a 16.5cm drop point blade in 420HC stainless steel. This outdoor tool weighs 381g and measures 27.94cm in total length, supplied with a leather sheath.

Construction and materials

Built with 420HC stainless steel, the blade features a plain-edge cutting surface and chrome finish. The drop point blade profile provides controlled cutting capability. Full-tang construction ensures structural integrity throughout the 27.94cm length, while the 381g weight offers substantial heft for demanding tasks.

Application and use

Designed for bushcraft, hunting, and outdoor activities, this knife handles wood processing, rope cutting, and food preparation. The drop point blade excels at controlled cuts and detail work. The size and weight make it suitable for heavy-duty field tasks rather than everyday carry applications.

Integration and compatibility

The knife includes a leather sheath for secure storage and transport. The 16.51cm blade length positions it as a primary field knife rather than a backup tool. The plain-edge configuration allows for standard sharpening methods without specialised equipment.

Maintenance and lifecycle

The 420HC stainless steel offers corrosion resistance but benefits from regular oiling. Clean and dry after use before storing in the provided sheath. The steel maintains acceptable edge retention while remaining easy to sharpen with standard whetstones.
