A.G. Russell Knives

The original Gut Hook has been very popular with hunters because it solved a problem: it made dressing large game much easier. David Bloch, owner and founder of Outdoor Edge, has taken the gut hook concept and improved it. Instead of a hook design with a sharp point, the gutting blade has a blunted end with a sharp blade that curves inward. This allows you to open game like a zipper, eliminating the chance of cutting internal organs. With a push on the lock button located next to the pivot screw, the blade rotates from a drop point hunter blade to an innovative gutting blade. The blades are hand finished AUS-8 stainless steel at 57-58 Rc. measuring 3-5/8" for the drop point and 3-3/16" for the gutting blade. Outdoor Edge has also updated the handle for 2009 by making the handle in an easy to locate blaze orange rubberized Kraton®. Comes complete with a black nylon belt sheath with a plastic insert for safety. Handle measures 4-5/8" and weighs 4.7 oz. Made in China. Suggested retail $75.95.
