The Cold Steel CS20SPH Pendleton Lite Hunter delivers reliable cutting performance for hunters and outdoor professionals who need a lightweight, fixed-blade knife that maintains its edge through extended field use. This drop point design combines the proven 4116 stainless steel blade with a secure polypropylene handle for consistent performance in demanding conditions.
What Makes This Different
The cryo-quenched 4116 stainless steel blade receives sub-zero treatment that refines the grain structure for enhanced edge retention and corrosion resistance compared to standard heat-treated blades. At 3.63 inches, the drop point profile provides optimal belly curve for skinning while maintaining enough tip strength for precision work. The full tang construction transfers cutting force directly through the handle, eliminating flex under heavy use.
Key Features
- 3.63" cryo-quenched 4116 stainless steel drop point blade for superior edge retention
- 4.88" black polypropylene handle with textured grip surface
- Full tang construction for maximum strength and durability
- Plain edge geometry optimized for skinning and field dressing
- Lightweight design reduces fatigue during extended cutting tasks
- Corrosion-resistant blade finish withstands moisture and field conditions
- Secure blade-to-handle junction prevents loosening under stress
Field testing shows the 4116 steel composition holds a working edge through multiple deer processing sessions while resisting staining from blood and moisture. The polypropylene handle maintains grip security even when wet, and the balanced weight distribution reduces hand fatigue during repetitive cutting motions. Professional guides and meat processors appreciate the blade geometry that transitions smoothly from initial cuts to detailed work around joints and bones.
