At the heart of the Gladstone Hunter is its 4.25-inch CPM-154 clip point blade. Renowned for its edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance, CPM-154 is a steel that performs reliably under demanding conditions. The satin finish highlights the blade’s clean lines while reducing glare and improving visual appeal. The clip point profile allows for precise tip control and detailed cutting, while the broad belly accommodates slicing, skinning, and general outdoor tasks with efficiency. Its length offers a balance between agility and cutting power, making it a versatile tool in any field setting.
The black and green linen micarta handle adds both style and function. Linen micarta is prized for its durability, moisture resistance, and strong grip, even in wet or cold conditions. The alternating black and green layers create a visually striking pattern while offering a textured surface for confident handling. A nickel silver guard protects the hand during use, and the aluminum pommel contributes balance and stability without unnecessary weight. The full tang construction ensures the knife remains strong and balanced, even under heavy-duty use.
The Gladstone Hunter weighs just 0.58 pounds, making it easy to carry without compromising strength. A brown leather belt sheath is included for safe transport and convenient access, while its classic styling complements the knife’s overall aesthetic. The knife is boxed, providing secure storage and making it an excellent option for collectors or gifting.
The Bark River Gladstone Hunter Fixed Blade with Black-Green Linen Micarta handle combines a high-performance CPM-154 blade, secure handle, and classic finishing touches for a hunting knife that performs and impresses.
