You won’t find a more precision hunting knife than the Hogue Scalpel. Its extra-slim blade is ideal for gutting, skinning, and field-dressing your kills, and the modified drop point tip gives you all the piercing and puncturing power you’ll need to slice through hides and pelts.
The blade weighs just 1.4 ounces but it’s made from ultra-tough 440C stainless steel with a 54-57 HRC rating. The G10 handle comes with a peel ply texture that ensures it stays firmly gripped in your hand even if your fingers are bloody, muddy, or wet. Best of all, the pocket knife comes with two additional replacement blades so you can swap them out easily if one gets dull or needs sharpening.
