Apex Steel Works Crucible CPM 3V Hunting Knife – 4 inch (4.25″) blade, made by hand in the USA – Professional Hunting Knife

We’ve built a batch of hunting knives with high performance Crucible CPM 3V in desert ironwood.  This blade steel is semi-stainless, corrosion resistant compared to simple carbon steels and has an excellent carbide structure optimized by our heat treatment procedure.  The desert ironwood handle scales are durable, nearly impervious, and every set is unique – this is reflected in the #001 designation of this piece.

Our 4.25″ midside hunting knife is solid with a keen <.010 terminal edge prior to sharpening for easy touch ups while providing strength for heavy duty use on large game and whatever camp duties you throw at it.  The exclusive horizontal/vertical combination sheath allows a variety of carry methods to fit your preferences when you’re in the field.

These hunting knives are a direct comparison to larger companies highly promoted CNC products which are primarily assembled from huge batches of parts, not handmade.  The performance and features we offer are as good as it gets and optimized for each blade steel and knife configuration.

The performance is second to none. All our knives ship free!

Apex Steel Works knives fill a need for high performance kitchen cutlery and sporting knives. All work from profiling the stainless steel blanks from raw bar stock, drilling, heat treatment and sharpening is done in-house here in Montana. The materials are the highest quality from the tool steel blades to the corrosion free 304 stainless bolsters and handle fasteners.

For each knife the blade is precision ground for the perfect balance between sharpness and durability allowing fast, accurate progress through culinary tasks.

This Apex Steel Works CPM 3V hunting knife features an 4 inch (4.25″) Crucible CPM 3V particle metallurgy steel blade at 60-61 Rockwell hardness for superior edge retention and easy stainless maintenance, fully flat ground and with a <.010 terminal edge before sharpening.

This is a professional hunting knife factory sharpened to a 15 degree edge angle and ready to work right out of the box.
