Product Description
Back and better than ever, the Cold Steel Mackinac Hunter is a timeless folding knife reimagined for modern adventurers, hunters, and EDC enthusiasts — drawing inspiration from classic hunting blade designs and rebuilt with Cold Steel's modern engineering.
The hollow-ground clip-point blade is crafted from high-performance Japanese AUS-10A stainless steel, a fine-grained alloy known for taking a razor edge and holding it through repeated field use, while resisting the corrosion that comes with skinning, field dressing, and exposure to moisture on the trap line. The hollow grind keeps the cutting geometry thin behind the edge for efficient slicing, and the clip point's fine tip gives you the control needed for detail work around joints and hide. The ergonomic brown Micarta handle scales create a fatigue-fighting grip that stays secure through long stretches of hard use, wet or dry. Backing it all up is the legendary Tri-Ad® locking mechanism — a stop-pin design that transfers stress away from the pivot, giving the Mackinac Hunter unparalleled strength and security whether the blade is open or closed. Now updated with ambidextrous thumb studs for quick, one-handed deployment regardless of your dominant hand.
