This drop point hunter is built for reliability in the field while still carrying the refined details that define Dave’s work. Clean lines, balanced proportions, and a comfortable grip make it a knife that feels natural in hand the moment you pick it up. While designed with hunting and outdoor tasks in mind, its size and balance also make it a practical everyday carry for those who prefer a fixed blade on their belt.

The blade is crafted from premium CPM-154 stainless steel and heat treated to 61 HRC, including a cryogenic treatment to increase durability and wear resistance. The 4-inch satin finished blade offers excellent edge retention along with the corrosion resistance expected from a high-performance stainless steel. At 8 inches overall, the knife provides a solid, balanced feel that’s substantial without being bulky.

The handle is made from beautifully figured lacewood, paired with 45-degree dovetailed micarta bolsters and red G-10 liners that add both strength and a subtle visual accent. The handle is secured with 5/16-inch brass mosaic pins, and the natural grain of the lacewood ensures that each knife has its own unique character.

This knife comes paired with a custom topo-pattern Kydex sheath. The sheath can be configured for either vertical or horizontal carry, allowing you to set it up in the way that best suits how you carry and use the knife.

Each knife is handmade by David D. Carey and ships fully insured to ensure it arrives safely and ready for years of dependable use.
