Cold Steel Red River Carbon V Hunting Knife
For your consideration is this Red River Knives Carbon V hunting knife from the Division of Cold Steel. Red River Knives are Cold Steel's reinterpretations of classic knife designs that date back at least a century. The blade's famous Carbon V steel, which is 1/8" thick and custom smelted and rolled just for them, is from Cold Steel. After being blanked, each blade is stressed-relieved, heat-treated, and cooled in a unique agitated oil bath. Then, the blades are triple tempered to ensure maximum strength and flexibility. Before final sharpening, each blade is meticulously flat ground from top to bottom on state-of-the-art German CNC Grinders that perform precision grinding to an extra thin (15/1000") thickness. This ensures the most effective cutting, slicing, and shearing potential. Two hickory slabs are used to make the handle, which is then permanently riveted to the full tang with solid brass cutler's rivets. Although straightforward and reasonably priced, this construction method has proven to be sturdy and will provide years of demanding service. The knife shows good condition overall with no signs of obvious damage present. The knife handle measures 4 7/16" L, while the blade measures 6". The knife measures 10 1/2" L x 1 1/4" W and weighs 171.6 grams.
