Silver Stag ~  Small Gamer Fixed-Blade Knife for Small Game  

• Blade Length: Approximately 3 inches 
• Overall Length: Approximately 7 to 7.375 inches.
• Blade Steel: High-carbon D2 Tool Steel, known for exceptional wear resistance and edge retention.
• Hardness: Heat-treated to a 62 Rockwell hardness.
• Tang Construction: 3/4 hidden tang design.
• Origin: Made in the USA.
  

• Handle: Features a "beam" or "Elk Stick" handle made from genuine North American elk antler. Because it uses natural materials, every handle is unique in coloration and texture.
• Guard: Equipped with a steel guard to protect fingers during use.
• Sheath: Includes a high-quality genuine leather sheath, typically available in "Pouch" or "Snap" styles. The pouch style often supports both vertical and horizontal belt carry. 

• Edge Retention: D2 steel is highly regarded by Silver Stag for its superior cutting ability and its capacity to retain a factory edge for extended periods of heavy use.
• Corrosion Resistance: While D2 has high chromium content for "good" resistance, it is not stainless and can rust if not cleaned, dried, and oiled after getting wet.
• Sharpening: Due to its high hardness, D2 can be more difficult to re-sharpen than softer steels once it eventually dulls. 

• Small Game: Ideal for gutting and processing smaller animals.
• Caping: Its small, sturdy blade allows for the detailed work required in trophy preparation.
• General Utility: Suitable as a "patch knife" or for standard outdoor chores.
