LEDE Vantex Knife Set

The new Outdoor Edge Vantex line of hunting knives has been designed for serious hunters who require serious knives and prefer a traditional fixed-blade design that will last a lifetime. These premium knives are built to go the distance, with full-tang, titanium-coated, high-carbon steel blades designed to hold their edge longer, allowing focus to stay on the task at hand. With ergonomic, no-slip handles providing an effortless grip, Vantex knives provide a balance between performance, comfort and control.

The 3.5-inch Vantex Drop-Point is a great generalist companion for any hunting expedition. The drop-point blade strikes the perfect balance between compactness and cutting power. Weighing only 3.2 ounces, this knife feels lightweight yet sturdy in hand. With the ABS/TPE/polypropylene sheath, it weighs a bit more—4.8 ounces—but ensures the knife stays reliably at hand.

On the other hand, the 5.0-inch Vantex Boning knife is slightly longer and features a mid-flex blade that excels in precision tasks like boning game meat. At only 2.4 ounces without the sheath—and just 4 ounces with it—it’s comfortable to wield for extended periods when processing game or preparing meals outdoors. The Boning and Drop-Point knives are priced at $24.99 each.

Each knife in this new Vantex Hunting Knife Set serves a distinct purpose. The Drop-Point and Boning knives are crafted for precision, while the Caping knife allows for intricate work. Weighing 16.8 ounces, this hefty skinner can handle anything a hunt will throw at it. The included carbide/ceramic sharpener ensures hunters are always ready to maintain that razor-sharp edge when it matters most. Everything fits neatly into the nylon roll pack, promoting organization and easy access. All these retail together for $79.99.

Behind the Bullet: The .22 Long

If we could rewind the clock to 1871, before the .45-70 Government and .45 Colt existed, and when cartridges themselves were just establishing a foothold in the shooting world, you’d find a pair of .22-caliber rimfire designs: the .22 Short and the .22 Long. Aptly named, these cartridges would survive well into the 20th century, ultimately being conquered by the .22 Long Rifle cartridge. But in certain situations, the .22 Long cartridge still makes good sense, and actually has a few specialized applications.
