The Cold Steel Master Hunter VG-10 San Mai III is a premium fixed blade hunting knife designed for hunters and outdoor users who demand exceptional cutting performance and reliability. Its broad drop point blade is flat ground to provide an ideal edge geometry for field dressing, skinning and general hunting tasks while maintaining excellent strength and durability.
The blade is manufactured from Japanese VG-10 San Mai III steel, combining a hard VG-10 core with outer stainless steel layers to deliver excellent edge retention, toughness and corrosion resistance. The 5 mm thick spine provides the rigidity required for processing larger game, while the razor-sharp edge is engineered for clean, controlled cuts.
A deeply textured Kray-Ex handle offers a secure, comfortable grip, even in wet conditions, helping reduce fatigue during extended use. The ergonomic design provides confident control whether dressing game or performing demanding outdoor tasks.
For convenient carry and protection, the Master Hunter includes a durable Secure-Ex sheath, designed to securely retain the knife while accommodating a wide range of belt sizes for comfortable all-day carry.
