DHunt manufactures sturdy and practical knives for people who really put them to use—in the woods, while hunting, camping, and outdoors. The D001 Small Pocket model is a folding knife designed for heavy daily use.

4116 steel blade

The blade is made of 4116 stainless steel, hardened to a hardness of 55–56 HRC. This steel is manufactured by the German company Thyssen-Krupp and is also known as 4116 Krupp.

Excellent corrosion resistance due to its high chromium content
It does not rust or get dirty, even when used in harsh environments
Easy to sharpen due to its moderate hardness
Contains vanadium for good wear resistance
It is used in the manufacture of food and medical instruments

4116 steel is a good choice for those looking for an affordable yet durable knife with a long-lasting cutting edge.

Natural wood handle

The handle is made of natural wood and is available in the following finishes: Olive, Walnut, Wenge, and Padauk. The knife also features a lanyard hole.

Slip Joint Mechanism

The knife uses a classic slip-joint lock—a simple mechanism with a spring that holds the blade in the closed position. To open it, you must overcome the spring’s tension with your thumb. The spring holds the blade open, but care must be taken not to apply pressure in the wrong direction. This is the traditional locking mechanism typical of classic pocket knives.

Leather Collar Set

The knife comes with a leather sheath for convenient carrying, storage, and transport.
