Outdoor Edge has long taken care of the needs of hunters in the field, with gutting, skinning and boning knives. Now, the company fills the last gap in the field-to-table equation, with its Wildgame Steak Knives. Made from taper-ground 420j2 stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance, the final edges are finished off with micro-serrations to improve cutting ability, without sharpening. Ergonomically-shaped, nearly indestructible polypropylene handles, with elk-horn inlay, ensure an enhanced grip and balance. Handles are available in both black or blaze-orange. Dishwasher safe, the knives are sold in sets of four, and will be available both online and at retailers in July 2020. For more information, please visit outdooredge.com. MSRP: $29.95
