Archery Business: Jul/Aug 2010
July/August 2010 archeryBUSINESS 41 WESTERN GEAR called the Model 444 Guthook ($44). The high-carbon stainless steel blade is hollow ground which means it is easy to sharpen and really holds an edge. The tang is molded inside a handle of wrap-around black Kraton with \037 nger grooves for a non-slip grip. Kraton offers many advantages of natural rubber, but with greater resistance to weather, heat and chemicals. A leather sheath is included. A serrated-blade model (444SR) is also available, as are models incorporating handles made of orange Kraton, laminated Camo Wood, and genuine India Stag Bone. The knife specialists from Browning (801-876-2711; www.browning.com) have two new models for 2010, the Model 111 lockback folder and the Lil' Bit Series, both with Swedish Sandvik stainless steel blades. The Model 111 knives have grooved, contoured handles of G-10 or walnut, with 3\274-inch blades. Thin construction lets 111s slide easily into a pocket without adding bulk: 111D with black G-10 scales ($35), and 111C with walnut scales ($40). The Lil' Bit Series use a drop point design in either \037 xed blade or folding lockback. Lil' Bit \037 xed blades are available with genuine stag or desert ironwood scales, and a top grain leather sheath (MSRPs $45 to $60).
