The Remington 15639 Hunter delivers reliable cutting performance with its lockback folding design and stainless steel blade construction. This hunting knife combines traditional functionality with modern materials, featuring a multi-colored G10 handle that provides superior grip in wet conditions. Built for hunters who demand dependable edge retention and secure blade lockup during field dressing and camp tasks.
What Makes This Different
The lockback mechanism on this Remington folder provides significantly more blade security than liner lock designs, preventing accidental closure under heavy cutting loads. The multi-layered G10 handle material offers three times the grip strength of standard polymer scales, even when wet or bloody. Unlike basic hunting knives with simple steel construction, the 15639 features corrosion-resistant stainless steel that maintains its edge through multiple field dressing sessions without frequent resharpening.
