---------------------

This week’s steal is an unassuming fixed blade from Cold Steel, the Pendleton Mini Hunter. At this point Cold Steel is a brand that needs no introduction, and this is a really high quality, compact offering designed by custom knife-maker Lloyd Pendleton.

And when I say compact, I mean compact. Blade on this guy is three inches, with the whole knife coming in just over six. Blade is a flat ground drop-point made from VG-1 stainless steel, and this is one of the last Cold Steel models to be made in Japan. This is a super sharp, high quality blade.

Handle is covered in a heavily textured Kray-Ex which gives it a very satisfying amount of grip. Coming in at three and a quarter inches the handle is probably going to get lost a little for those of us who have larger hands, but it’s still a pretty confident hold. The size just lends the knife a high-degree of flexibility, freeing it up for numerous applications where a low profile is ideal. For example this would be a great knife to attach to the strap of a backpack on a hiking excursion.

Included in the package is a Secure-Ex sheath with nylon belt loop. The knife snaps into the sheath and can be locked in at the handle too, so it’s a very secure carry in almost any situation.

Overall, Cold Steel’s Pendleton Mini Hunter is an ideal back-up blade or low-profile EDC. You can click the annotation or the link in the description to learn more about this knife, and don’t forget to check back every week for our Steal of the Week. Thanks for watching, have a great day.

A reviewer on Amazon claimed there are two versions of this Mini Hunter -- one, a revision (?) -- which differ in handle length only. Can this possibly be right? Has the spec changed? Thanks for assisting!
