SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Knives of Alaska Trekker Elk Hunter Knife Fixed SureGrip 4.5in D2 Blade was born from the untamed wilds of Alaska, where survival depends on precision, strength, and reliability. Designed by master guide Charles Allen, this knife reflects decades of field experience and the relentless pursuit of perfection. Allen demanded a blade capable of performing under the harshest conditions—field dressing moose and brown bear deep in the wilderness. The result is a knife that’s become a legend among hunters, trusted by those who understand that in the backcountry, every cut counts.
The Trekker Elk Hunter isn’t just another fixed blade—it’s a testament to craftsmanship and field-tested design. Named one of the “20 Best Knives Ever Made” by Field & Stream, it stands as proof that function and heritage can coexist beautifully. This knife embodies the rugged spirit of Alaska and the respect of hunters who value clean, efficient processing of big game. With its balanced weight and exceptional control, the Elk Hunter turns demanding field work into a precise, confident experience.
Its 4.5-inch D2 tool steel blade is engineered for durability, edge retention, and sharpness even after heavy use. The bead-blasted finish reduces glare for discreet work in the field, while the drop point design and long skinning radius make it ideal for processing elk, deer, or moose with accuracy and efficiency. The ergonomic SureGrip handle, made from tough Santoprene rubber, stays secure even in cold or wet conditions, ensuring a steady hand when it matters most. At just 4.0 ounces, it provides outstanding maneuverability without sacrificing strength.
The 8.5-inch overall length gives the Trekker Elk Hunter excellent balance for long, sweeping skinning strokes, while the razor-sharp edge reduces the risk of puncturing the hide or organs during dressing. Every detail, from the high Rockwell hardness rating of 59-61 HRC to the American-made vegetable-tanned leather sheath, speaks to the knife’s commitment to quality and longevity. Proudly made in the USA, this blade isn’t just built to perform—it’s built to last.
