As a nod to the great success of our Pendleton Lite Hunter, we have decided to make more economical versions of our popular Tanto and Outdoorsman knives. They resemble their more expensive versions in that they feature similar blades, guards, handles and pommels. The only significant change was the use of slightly thinner 4116 German Stainless Steel blades and the implementation of less costly materials in the handles. The handles are made in two parts. They feature a Polypropylene guard, pommel and core section, which totally envelopes the knives' full tangs. The core is then over-molded in a deeply checkered Kraton for a non-slip grip that's impervious to the elements and is easily cleaned with soap and water.
