From Victorinox re the steel: “The steel we use for all our Hunter Pro knives is from the group 1.4419, or known in the USA for AISI420. The DIN number is X38CrMo14.” So its 420, not 440! Sorry!
I use this as my hunting knife. Im surprised to see, how expensive they are. In Germany you can get that for 65-70€. Ive got the orange one, its great for when you throw it in the grass at night, i would never be able to find the black one again, if it would fall down while hunting. What i also like about this one, you can wash out blood very easily. Its not that easy with other victorinox hunting tools like the hunter xt, because the blood gets in every little space. The blade is very nice. It has the perfect size, so you can lay your finger on the tip of the blade, so you dont cut the organs, when cutting open a deer. And its tough enough, so that you dont have to worry about it while cutting through the rips or the Schloß( i dont know if theres a word for it in english, its between the back legs of an animal). For my purposes it stays sharp long enough. O also carry the Victorinox dual sharpener, its a great tool that makes your knive sharp again very easily. The handle could be a bit larger for my big hands, and i like the soft touch material. It has a good grip when its wet or bloody. I never had problems with the back lock, its strong like a fixed knife, but the finish gets off very easy. Thats a bit sad, but it doesnt affect the useability, so i can get over that
Awesome comment - good to hear from someone who uses it for its intended role. Yes, I can only imagine how thoroughly mucky a victorinox layered SAK style knife would get once some entrails have been on it! Pinned comment for everyones benefit :)
In my opinion, if it wasn't for the price (because 60$ is ridiculous for 440c is ridiculous), this would be an excellent knife, it looks like it has nice ergos and a great blade shape for hunting.
I've found this knife by accident at a small nautical equipment shop, and bought it because i "drowned" my trusty old Boker. Anyways, there is not a single problem with this knife except the lack of a lanyard hole, which is a little bit annoying. As a sailor and skipper, i always need a trusty knife to go with me, and i use a knife at least 20 times a day. This has so far proven to be a very good choice (by pure luck). The best part of the knife is the simplicity of it, the knife does not look menacing and "tactical" which is great, the handle is the most ergonomical one i have ever handled, the knife is quite light and very strong. Sure, the blade steel is not some supersteel, but whoever doesn't want to buy a knife because it's not built with supersteel is usually just someone that never really needed it for actual use, rather show it around, being careful it doesn't get scratched. Peace!
The lock is strong--not crappy at all. I have had mine for almost two years. Tight. All I can say is that for Americans there are too many other knives as good or similar for much less. But, prices are higher in other countries. VAT (value added or sales tax) is part of the problem. Plus the extra layer of shipping and handling cost, and maybe duty. In Israel, we do not have the selection of good folders that Americans have. Victorinox Hunter Pro is about $90, walnut handle a little bit more. But we're more like to have only a few knives, and keep them for ever. Nobody worries about paying $5 or $10 or $20 more than Americans. If a knife is good, and I pay 30% more than a Yank, so be it. But indeed in America you have a large selection at much low price than the Vic Hunter Pro. For woodwork, walking stick making, barking branches, taking off small branches, etc. it has been a comfortable knife. No rusting, and I live a few hundred meters from the Mediterranean. -Cheers!
got mine on clearance at Sportsman's Warehouse for $41 with the sheath, when i saw this blade currently sells for $72.99 at the cheapest so i had to get it, plus i have several tools that i can put in the sheath.
I was also quite put off by the lock strength. It actually came with a really nice razor sharp v edge type situation. The bad convexing was just me a) first learning how to sharpen on a wetstone and b) me not being bothered to sharpen a knife i dont you and just over strop it😂
A good cryo for 440C makes a great difference. From HRC 56-57 to 57-58. Keep in mind the hardness scale is exponential so 58 is almost 10x harder than 57. My friend uses 440C and you would think his knives were made of CM-154 because of how good he does the heat treat. He quenches in a hot 100C oil, air cools and then wipes and does a quick 100C temper before the cryo in LN.
Even though 440c has fallen out of favor for knives with all these newer super steels , I think this knife is too expensive for the materials used. Now I want tacos 🌮
Hello. How do you recommend to sharpen it, like a flat or scandi grind? If we look at the blade geometry, it looks like it won't slice well over time if it is sharpened as a flat grind.
I own many knives and have one of these and it's a really good knife and I've never had a lock failure and there is no wiggle at all when it is open mine has a pocket clip and aluminum scales it's a solid knife.Spydercos and Benchmade are double the price but do offer upgraded steel.
EKA 88 has been a popular choice for hunters here in sweden for a couple of decades. More recently, by far the most popular hunting knife is the EKA Swingblade. Mora 2000 is another popular choice. To me, this victorinox just looks like a knife, I cant see why it would be exceptional as a hunting knife. In fact, it seems to have qualities that you wouldnt want on a good hunting knife, like the fact that its very pointy, typically you would want a rounded blade for skinning/flaying because it allows you to use the knife at an angle without damaging the meat. The only thing I can think of is that removable scales is more sanitary, but if thats a concern you should be looking at a fixed blade instead.
I read that one of the YT videos mentioned 440c but upor further search Victorinox confirmed it to be a goof, and what it is really (some sellers label it correctly)
As an earlier poster commented: I am reminded of the Gerber gator with this knife. I admittedly have had a long time affection for the Gerber Gator & Victorinox knives( have had both since the 70's & 80's) although for the money I think I would choose the fine edged Gator over this knife. I believe the recent incarnation of the Gerber Gator is in CPM 154 steel & still made in Oregon, USA. It also has a very comfortable, form fitting sticky hard rubber handle probably not unlike this Victorinox Hunter Pro. Appreciated the review of a less exotic, everyman's knife. Cheers from Canada.
Never seen your channel before, but subscribing on the basis of an interesting and entertaining review. I particularly liked your taco hunting expedition, the advice not to do 'dumb shit' with your knife, and that cat!
Hmmm, why is it that the higher end 440C knives tested do like 75 passes on the rope and the Victorinox only does 57 ? The Lionsteel Mini does 77 cuts and the Kizlyar Hero does 75 before dulling. My hunting knife is made from Bohler N695 steel which is basically a high quality 440C and it also maintains very good edge. I'm curious why the Victorinox 440C performs so poorly.
I think the blade is not polished because it is a harder use knife and polished edge gets marked up easier than something like a satin or bead blast finish.
I would presume bead blasting is a lot cheaper than a nice polished blade. Not to meantion a polished blade would looks s bit strange on such a utilitarian looking blade. Why 440c? Because it's generic, better than standard victorinox steel, and in general, at least where I live, hunters don't care about blade steel. If anything being able to put and edge back on a blade quickly is more advantageous than a super steel that for your average Joe would be near impossible.
@Marshall Kinnaird IF you can FIND it at Walmart, nowadays. All they ever have at Walmart now are the crappy china made blades by Buck. The 110 is still my preferred EDC pocket blade. Tough as hell, but I can never find it anywhere for the old $35 pricepoint. They're always $95 or more on amazon or ebay, and about the same at Bucks website, now. Sucks.
@Marshall Kinnaird No I haven't tried the new LT's but I have a Buck Chairman 110 from 2016 or 2017 and it works like the regular bucks. The last regular Buck 110 I was able to buy at Walmart was back in 2013. Compared to that my chairman works the same, and is the same quality. I looked into some of the new LT's and the blade is still supposed to be the same. Just different handle material, but made in USA. I may try one someday, but I love my chairman. Aside from that I'm now carrying my new Victorinox Hunter Pro Red. I love it too. It feels solid like the Buck 110's.
Ehhhh I'm not really digging this one. I definitely wouldn't use this for processing game with that flimsy lock. I wouldn't use any folder for that though. Also the cost is crazy. You could get a cold steel master hunter in 3v for that
By the time American knives are priced overseas, they are not such bargains. The Swiss made Hunter Pro is not so laden with tariffs as US knives are. After two years my Hunter Pro is holding up well. No blade play, no rust, and no lock fail. Victorinox heat treatment makes their 440C punch above its weight. The big issue is that the US market is awash in decent cheap knives AND all kinds of more expensive ones. I think there will be little chance for this knife in the North American market. Also not appealing to the couch-commando market. Thankfully no pocket clip--messy for dressing an animal.
This feels like a pretty wierd experiment from Victorinox. Not a great design, not great materials and not cheap. The orange version was featured on The Martian though :D I honestly don't get the idea of folding sheath knives as a whole. All the drawbacks of a fixed blade without almost any of the advantages.
Thanks 4 the great review (good point re lock), admire your hunting n dressing skills, Congrats on a beautiful family! Namaste from India n Cheers, Mate!
The matte finish, as explained by a Victorinox rep, is so it doesn’t catch the light and spook what you’re hunting. Doesn’t seem like a super practical modification, but that’s what the man said.
And I thought my cat was big!! In all seriousness though, the knife seems a little expensive, but knowing Victorinox it'll last forever. It's probably more knife than most people really need!
I am looking to by this knife and before buying it i just want to know what’s the thickness of the blade so can somebody help me please (Sorry for my bad english)
I would only buy the Hunter Pro with the walnut scales that Victorinox also offers this in (at $110 USD, as of June 2018). Aside from the Gerber Gator (which is only offered in a rubberised finish) I haven't seen any folder that come close to having a handle this comfortable.
Reflections from a hunter is a no-no he would be seen by his prey if he has a reflective surface that is also therefore you never see a shiny silver hunting rifle.
I'm typing, because, I'm speechless. A hundred bucks for a 440C knife, in this day and age, is tantamount to robbery. Not that 440C is a bad steel, it is not. The fact that this knife steel is used mainly in the budget knife arena has everything to do with why paying a hundred bucks for it is robbery. People wanting a well made knife in 440C need to take a serious look at Ganzo's offerings. They do an excellent job of heat treating this steel, and, put it in very well made folders. The fact that Ganzo knive's rarely exceed $28.00 US makes them high value/low cost knives. Victorinox should be ashamed of themselves for ridiculously over pricing this knife. Anyway, well done look at the knife, and, you have quite the informative channel here!
Mike Uman It's because he lives in Australia. 60 bucks on Amazon if you live in the states. I'd definitely still take a rat 1 in d2 any day for less money.
Mike Uman actually the over all build of victorinox hunter pro is much better and stronger than most knives in lower price range. plus victorinox name sells
ONETIME OUTDOORS Dj Rayner it's priority.i also poor at present buy I bought two of these knives instead of wasting money on wining and dining in exp places
Too much expensive. 440 c steel is not that expensive now a days its cheaper. So the price tag is hilarious. By the way there is a little blade play in this knife and sadly no screws to tighten that issue. So ur stuck with a blade play forever
From Victorinox re the steel:
“The steel we use for all our Hunter Pro knives is from the group 1.4419, or known in the USA for AISI420. The DIN number is X38CrMo14.”
So its 420, not 440! Sorry!
yep, the Steel is quite underperforming form what you could expect from a 440c (60 to 100 rope cuts give or take)

This is not 440C, it is 1.4419 or X38CrMo14 at 56HRC more similar to a well heat-treated 4Cr14MoV or 420HC.
oh, the literature said 440c!
I read that one of the YT videos mentioned 440c but upor further search Victorinox confirmed it to be a goof, and what it is really (some sellers label it correctly)
Yes, it's a X38CrMo14 @ 56HRC.
X50CrMov15, the secret is a TT...
Nice cat footage.
The price in Brazil is about US$ 120,00

Do you have to get a fish and game license to go taco hunting in Australia?
Taco is commonly used in the USA as slang in an unexpected way. So I think all you really need is a marriage license.

Basil in on the act again...Awesome. He does look like he'd strop up well !
Here in Italy cost 60-70 euro but form my its overpriced for overall qality and steel

Nothing beats the cold steel tri ad lock , sorry ,
I have the Contego with the blade steel being M390. Sharp as hell and just an awesome knife.
Please ask which brand of your watch it is
Cool knife. What do U think about Gerber Premium Gator folding knife ? I think I'll buy both of them.
I think the blade is not polished because it is a harder use knife and polished edge gets marked up easier than something like a satin or bead blast finish.
What's better ? This one or hunter xt?
What do you feed your Cat?
Surely it's not a sheath knife, If it's a folding knife...

Thanks for this. Very informative! Any chance you will take a look at the Böker Scout? (Or cronidur steel for that matter)?
I'd rather buy a $35 Buck 110, but thanks for the review, it was still entertaining.

hahaha love how you hunted em tacos 😂 lookin for reviews as it is $80 Canadian and $159 for the wood handle... fantastic review thank you
hey no worries, check out my newer review on the alox one too, I do more extensive steel testing on it there

Dear gawsh y is your cat bigger than your kids
The steel is X50CrMov15, not 440C.
When I filmed this review I asked victorinox and the rep said american 440c at 56Hrc
I didn't know you owned a Maltese tiger? My boy cat is pretty big as well.
I think between your xxxlarge cat and cucumbers on your tacos.... it definitely made this video worth watching.
Really, why is this thing so expensive? You might as well get pretty much every other folding lockback knife,especially in thr buck 110 style.

Bro, you put cucumbers in ya tacos? ,lol wtf :)

I saw that and thought, "bro cucumbers on Taco's? You got bigger problems than the 440c steel in your blade." Lol.
Man... Have you seen the bowl on the table?!
He put tacos in the salad...
There is no way I would spend that much money on a 440C folding blade as long as there are Ganzo knives available.
Neither Ganzo nor this are 440C. This one isn't even similar in the least to 440C
I would only buy the Hunter Pro with the walnut scales that Victorinox also offers this in (at $110 USD, as of June 2018). Aside from the Gerber Gator (which is only offered in a rubberised finish) I haven't seen any folder that come close to having a handle this comfortable.

What a bad lock worse than some liner locks
Umm. Way over priced.
Too much expensive. 440 c steel is not that expensive now a days its cheaper. So the price tag is hilarious. By the way there is a little blade play in this knife and sadly no screws to tighten that issue. So ur stuck with a blade play forever
