Cold Steel Master Hunter CPM 3V Stonewashed Knife
A high-end knife featuring a Full Tang design and an overall length of 235 mm. Crafted from CPM-3V powdered steel, the Drop-Point blade profile offers exceptional resistance to wear. The ergonomic handle is constructed from Kray-Ex material with a textured, non-slip surface, delivering a reliable grip in any environment. Included is a Secure-Ex sheath designed for versatile mounting options on a belt or other gear.
CPM 3V powdered steel
Forged from CPM 3V powdered steel, the blade delivers impressive performance, featuring good resistance to corrosion despite not being classified as stainless steel. Following heat treatment, the blade achieves a hardness of 58-61 HRC, striking an optimal balance between strength, durability, and ease of sharpening.
Drop-Point Blade
Equipped with a Drop-Point blade profile, the knife features a length of 115 mm and a thickness of 4.7 mm. This particular blade geometry enhances rigidity and ensures increased stability when handling tougher tasks. The edge utilizes a full flat grind, offering excellent cutting efficiency and allowing for straightforward resharpening, even in outdoor or field environments. Finished using the Stonewash technique, the blade achieves a semi-matte appearance.
Non-Slip Kray-Ex Handle
Featuring an ergonomically contoured handle crafted from Kray-Ex, this design stands out for its remarkable flexibility and superior resistance to wear. The non-slip texture ensures a secure hold, even under difficult weather conditions. A hole for a safety cord is integrated at the handle’s end.
Secure-Ex Sheath
A Secure-Ex system sheath is included with the knife. Featuring a snap-fastened loop, the sheath enables quick attachment or detachment from a belt without needing to remove the belt itself. Extra holes along the edges provide options for multi-position sheath mounting on various types of gear.

Secure-Ex
Secure-Ex is a system developed by Cold Steel, designed for the safe storage and convenient carrying of knives and tools. Sheaths made with this technology are lightweight, durable, and weather-resistant, making them suitable even for intensive use. They hold the knife securely in the sheath while allowing for quick and smooth draw. The system has a modular design - the sheaths can be supplemented with various fasteners, such as buckles, clips (e.g., C-Clip) or ball chains. This allows the knife to be worn on a belt, around the neck, or in other configurations, according to the user's preferences.
Kray-Ex
Kray-Ex is a synthetic polymer with a rubber-like structure used by Cold Steel to manufacture knife handles. It is characterized by high adhesion and anti-slip properties, ensuring a secure grip even in high humidity, low temperatures, and with dirty hands. The material is flexible and absorbs shocks well, which increases comfort of use. Kray-Ex is also resistant to cracking, abrasion, chemicals, and adverse weather conditions, making handles made of this material durable and virtually maintenance-free. Cold Steel uses it in tactical, survival, and utility knives.
CPM 3V
CPM 3V is a premium powder tool steel produced by Crucible Industries, known for its high resistance to impact, fracture, and wear. It contains 0.8% carbon, 7.5% chromium, and additions of molybdenum (1.3%), vanadium (2.75%), manganese (up to 1%), and silicon (up to 1%) additives, which improve wear resistance and structural stability. After heat treatment, it achieves a hardness of 58-61 HRC, providing a balance between strength, durability, and ease of sharpening. Although CPM 3V is not stainless steel, it offers good corrosion resistance and is widely used in the manufacture of military, survival, and hunting knives. It is suitable for intensive use in harsh conditions, combining high wear resistance, better ductility, and longer edge retention compared to other tool steels.
Stonewash
Stonewash is a blade finishing technique that involves treating steel in a drum filled with stones, ceramic abrasives, or beads. The impact of the material creates a characteristic, irregular pattern with micro-scratches, giving the effect of a matte, slightly “aged” surface with a raw, practical appearance. The finish gives the knife an aesthetic look and masks minor scratches and marks that occur during use, keeping the blade looking like new for longer. The matte texture reduces light reflections, which is valued in tactical and outdoor knives, and the micro-scratches can further reduce friction during cutting. Due to its durability, discreet appearance, and ease of maintenance, stonewash is popular in EDC, field, and tactical knives.

Brilliant steel at a low price.

My copy is perfect, the grind is also even. After use in the forest, for example batoning, I don't notice any play, and the rest is obvious... Good sheath and brilliant steel, probably the best for this type of knife.

I had the knife for a few days. We didn't get along, but that doesn't mean the knife was bad. Here's what I didn't like, the rest was okay. 1. Rounded spine edges 2. Very aggressive handle texture. Even though the skin on my hands is tough as an elephant, it quickly tired me out. 3. Poorly fitting sheath or the handle is too wide – it takes effort to remove the knife from it. For comparison, I had the version with SanMai III and the fit was very secure, while the knife locked in smoothly and gently with a click.
