The Schrade Old Timer Copperhead has a 3.5-inch gray TiNi coated 7Cr17MoV stainless guthook blade with a full tang at 8 inches overall, a black textured rubber handle and a black nylon belt sheath.
The guthook is a hooked notch ground into the spine near the tip. Hooking it under the hide and pulling opens an animal along a line without the point ever reaching the organs underneath, which is what ruins meat when a plain blade slips. TiNi is titanium nitride, a hard ceramic coating that adds surface hardness and cuts glare rather than simply coloring the blade.
7Cr17MoV is a stainless chosen for corrosion resistance and easy sharpening rather than maximum edge holding, which suits work on wet game. Textured rubber grips when hands are wet or bloodied, which is exactly when a slick handle becomes dangerous. Explore more Camp and Field Knives.
