As imperative as your rifle, as useful as your compass.

World-class knife designer Ken Onion is at it again, and this time with a no-frills, fixed-blade hunting companion. Its big-belly, carbon steel construction is as burly as the Alaskan back-country, and as impressive as the grizzly you’ll be skinning.

Ken Onion has turned out countless flawless knife designs from his shop in Kaneohe, Hawaii, and the Humdinger is a worthy addition. Inspired by an experience on an Alaskan bear hunt expedition, it’s well-equipped for the rigors of hard, backwoods use.

The blade is constructed of 65 Mn carbon steel and paired with a tough textured glass-reinforced nylon handle for optimal grip and control even when you’re elbow-deep. It neatly tucks away into an injection-molded sheath that is wrapped with woven polyester to provide you with multiple carry options.

Out in bear country, you can’t afford to go without an out-standing knife—on that account, the Humdinger delivers.
