CRKT says this is the toughest knife they have ever made. Conceived as a hunting and personal defense knife, this hot-forged fixed blade is designed by A.G. Russell.
Hot forging is the reason the sting is so tough. It begins life as an ordinary blank of 1050 carbon steel, similar to the alloy used in traditional samurai swords, which is first hot forged and then precision ground into final shape. After heat-treating and normalizing to improve the grain structure, the sting is then heat treated and quenched to achieve hardness, and tempered to arrive at an optimum hardness with excellent strength.
While they are very tough, low alloy steels do not have the rust resistance imparted by the chromium and nickel in stainless steels, so we apply a black non-reflective powder coat finish to stop corrosion.
The integral handle is contoured to fit the bare or gloved hand nicely and provides heft and balance, with thumb detents for grip. A large lanyard hole is provided, allowing the use of a wrist lanyard, or carry as a neck knife.
Included is a cordura multi-carry sheath with a zytel liner. It is very light and has belt loops that allow it to be carried vertically or horizontally. In addition, two velcro leg straps are included, allowing the sting to be carried high or low on the leg, and in a variety of carry positions on gear.
As a survival knife, the sting is so versatile you won't believe it. You can use it to cut wood, clean and skin animals, and even for those unforeseen digging and prying tasks.
