In early 2009 Buck Knives has expanded their knife catalog to include a wider range of innovative products, they've never lost focus on their roots. So it's no surprise that their impressive range of new knives being introduced at the 2009 SHOT Show is headed by new hunting knives.
There are two ErgoHunterTM series, which quickly reveal their name origin as soon as you pick one up. Just holding it in your hand you will discover how it was designed ergonomically for the perfect fit, eliminating fatigue with use.
The three larger ErgoHunter Skinners are available in the product levels, all offering the same basic features, but using different materials depending on consumer needs or desires. They each have a thicker 4-3/4” full-tang blade with a generous belly design that is perfect for skinning, with added grip ridges and an extra large choil for better gripping and control. Blades come in a choice of quality steels. With an overall length of 9-3/4”, these skinners weigh 8.2 oz. for both the Pro and Select versions and 9.2 oz. for the Avid version.
The Pro version Model 498 ErgoHunter has an S30V blade and a 420HC guthook ring. The handle is Rosewood Dymondwood® inlaid into black Alcryn® rubber for a comfortable, sure grip. It comes with a dual-pocket burgundyleather sheath. MSRP is $190 for the two-piece set: knife and guthook ring.
The Avid Model 497 has a 12C27Mod SandvikTM steel blade, and is available either as a straight skinner or with a guthook. It has a Rosewood Dymondwood handle and comes with a leather sheath. MSRP is $130, or $136with guthook.
The third option with the same advanced blade design is the Select Model 495 with a textured Alcryn rubber handle that provides a very comfortable, sure grip, and a heavy-duty nylon sheath. The blade is Buck's reliable 420HC steel, with a choice of straight skinner or with a guthook. MSRP is $80, or $86 with guthook.
