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.

On July 17 the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) published a proposed rulemaking change on the Federal Register that, if approved, would allow western states to better manage their grizzly bear population.
