The Outdoorsman Lite knife maintains the classic design of its predecessor, the Outdoorsman, while offering a more budget-friendly option. It closely resembles the original with similar blades, guards, handles and pommels. The main difference lies in the blade material, which uses a slightly thinner 4116 German stainless steel and the handle, which employs more economical materials. The handle is constructed in two parts a polypropylene guard, pommel and core section that completely encases the full tang of the knife. This core is then overlaid with deeply checkered Kraton, providing a secure, non-slip grip that withstands harsh conditions and is easy to clean with soap and water.
