At the center of the knife is a 2.25-inch drop point blade crafted from 8Cr13 stainless steel. This dependable stainless steel is known for offering a solid balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, making it well suited for everyday use and outdoor environments. The drop point profile is one of the most versatile blade designs available, providing excellent control for detailed work while maintaining enough strength at the tip for more demanding cutting tasks. Finished with a clean satin polish, the blade has a refined appearance while helping resist everyday wear and corrosion.
The Hinterland is built with full tang construction, giving it the strength and durability needed for reliable field use. The steel extends through the entire length of the handle, creating a solid, balanced platform that inspires confidence whether you're preparing kindling, processing food around camp, carving, or handling everyday utility chores. Full tang construction also contributes to improved stability and long-term durability.
The handle is made from rugged green G-10, a high-performance composite material prized for its strength, moisture resistance, and dependable grip. Designed to withstand harsh weather and repeated use, G-10 performs exceptionally well in wet, dry, hot, and cold conditions. Its ergonomic shape offers a comfortable, secure grip for enhanced control, while the integrated lanyard hole provides additional carry and retention options for outdoor users.
Measuring 7 inches overall and weighing 6.4 ounces, the Hinterland offers an ideal balance between compact carry and capable performance. It's easy to pack on a belt, in a backpack, or as part of a survival kit without sacrificing the cutting power needed for daily outdoor tasks.
A durable black modular nylon sheath is included to provide secure storage and versatile carry options. Designed to keep the knife protected and readily accessible, the sheath complements the Hinterland's practical design and makes it easy to carry into the woods, around camp, or on everyday outings.
Whether you're building a fire, preparing camp meals, tackling light bushcraft tasks, or simply looking for a dependable fixed blade for daily use, the Elk Ridge Hinterland delivers rugged performance, quality materials, and practical design at an exceptional value.
