Knives of Alaska Trekker Elk Hunter D2 Drop Point 3.25In Orange SureGrip Handles KOA00177FG

The Knives of Alaska Trekker Elk Hunter is a no-nonsense drop-point knife built to meet the demands of serious hunters who value proven design and rock-solid performance. Designed for field dressing and skinning big game, this fixed-blade knife offers precision, durability, and control in a lightweight, easy-to-carry profile. Whether you're working through elk, deer, or similar large animals, the Trekker Elk Hunter is engineered to help you get the job done quickly and cleanly.

At the heart of this knife is its 3.25-inch blade, forged from premium D2 tool steel. Known for its superior edge retention and toughness, D2 steel delivers long-lasting sharpness and resists wear during heavy use in the field. With a Rockwell hardness rating of 59-61 and an 18-20 degree bevel angle, the blade provides a razor-sharp edge that holds up under repeated cutting and skinning tasks. Its long skinning radius is ideal for making smooth, sweeping cuts, while the drop-point tip gives you the versatility needed for precise detail work or piercing.

Designed with control and safety in mind, the blade features jimping along the spine to provide extra thumb traction, giving you better leverage and cutting accuracy. Complementing the blade is a full-tang construction that extends strength throughout the knife, ensuring dependable performance even under hard use.

The handle is made from Knives of Alaska's SureGrip material—a durable, rubber-like compound that remains grippy even in wet, cold, or bloody conditions. The finely checkered surface, paired with ergonomic finger grooves, enhances both comfort and control, reducing hand fatigue during long processing sessions. The hunter orange color adds high visibility, making it easy to locate in low light or brush. For those who prefer a more traditional look, a black handle option is also available.

Weighing just 4.5 ounces, the Trekker Elk Hunter won’t weigh you down, making it ideal for hunters covering long distances or packing light. It comes with a vegetable-tanned leather sheath that offers both protection and quick access while in the field.

Proudly made in the USA, the Trekker Elk Hunter is built for those who demand American craftsmanship and field-tested reliability from their gear. Visit SMKW to browse our large variety of hunting knives!
