The Western Crosstrail 9.25" Gut Hook Fixed Blade Knife strikes a perfect balance between its stylized aesthetic and functional capabilities. Featuring a 4.25" Titanium Bonded 420 Steel Blade, the Crosstrail Gut Hook offers an economic balance between hardness and corrosion resistance for use in a range of diverse conditions. To further enhance the strengths of the blade, the Crosstrail Gut Hook is bonded with titanium. This adds extra resistance to rust and corrosion while also making the blade up to 3x harder than untreated steel. Not only that, but the extra hardness affords exceptional edge retention as well. The handle is made of Delrin, an extremely durable and stable crystalline plastic used to resemble stag or antler. In other words, the Crosstrail Gut Hook boasts the look and feel of an antler-made handle without compromising structural integrity. A convenient sheath and belt loop are included as well for effective storage. Also backed by our Lifetime Warranty, the Crosstrail Gut Hook will make for an iconic collectors item and functional fixed blade for any task.
