COLD STEEL 36PE WESTERN HUNTER - Based on a design that harkens back to the late 1800’s, the Western Hunter’s™ practical blade style was popular and wildly successful and eventually adopted at first by individual butchers and later the meat packing industry in general. This happened mostly because of the Western Hunter’s™ inexhaustible versatility and simple, no-nonsense usefulness. Our version integrates the original profile and incorporates a flat ground blade with a thin, keen edge. This blade shape lends itself to a variety of uses because the edge runs in a mild continuous curve two thirds of the way up the blade where it transitions to a more pronounced curve (forming the perfect “belly” for long skinning strokes) before terminating in a sharp, yet useful point. This is your chance to own our modern recreation of a blade that has proven itself ideal for skinning everything from Field Mice to Grizzly Bears!
