Pendleton Hunter, Hunting Knife, AUS 10A

Pendleton Hunter, Hunting Knife with Japanese AUS 10A stainless steel blade

Lynn C. Thompson bought the first knife that custom maker Lloyd Pendleton ever made in 1973. The two went on to be fast friends, and together they collaborated on some of Cold Steel®'s most popular and critically acclaimed hunting knives, the Pendleton Series.

The Pendleton Hunter is much loved by the hunting community and has remained a staple in Cold Steel®'s collection for many years.

Lloyd Pendleton's signature drop point blade makes skinning and field dressing a cinch! The Pendleton Hunter's thick spine, combined with its deep flat grind result in a very versatile point combined with a razor-sharp edge. The contoured handle supports a modest guard and thumb stop, while still facilitating a wide range of grips for the intricacies of processing game. The deeply checkered Kray-Ex™ also helps the hunter to retain a secure grip on the knife even when his or her hands are cold, wet or bloody.

As for the sheath, for the sake of safety and durability, Cold Steel® has dispensed with leather in favor of Secure-Ex®, a material that will neither rot nor mildew and is far more resistant to cuts or punctures.

AUS 10A Stainless Steel
AUS 10A is equal in strength and toughness to AUS 8A, but has the extraordinary advantage of an additional 20% in edge-holding ability. This ability to retain a sharp edge for a longer period of time gives it wider performance advantages over other, more common stainless steels.
