Cold Steel Cs20Sph Pendleton Lite Hunter 3.63" Fixed Drop Point Plain Cryo

The Cold Steel Pendleton Lite Hunter is a fixed drop point hunting knife that delivers the functionality hunters have trusted for years without the premium price tag. Built on Cold Steel's classic Pendleton design, this 3.63" fixed blade combines a practical drop point geometry with a modest guard and flared butt—features that work together to keep the knife secure in your hand whether you're field dressing game or breaking down camp in wet conditions. The cryo quenched German 4116 stainless steel blade holds an edge well and resists corrosion, making it as home in coastal overlanding trips as it is in backcountry hunting camps.

Cold Steel engineered the Pendleton Lite with everyday carry and utility work in mind. The high-impact polypropylene handle is durable, lightweight, and won't absorb moisture—no maintenance oils or finishes required. At just 2.7 ounces with an overall length of 8.5 inches, it balances nimbleness with reach. The 3mm blade stock is thick enough to handle real work without flex, and the drop point profile gives you a straight edge for detail work and a gradual curve toward the tip for precision cuts.

This is the knife for hunters, campers, and field workers who want a dependable tool without paying for exotic materials or hype. The included Secure-Ex sheath keeps the blade protected and accessible whether you're packing into the backcountry or working around camp. If you've heard good things about Pendleton Hunters but thought they were out of reach, the Lite version proves that award-winning design doesn't have to break the bank.
