Yes, 1.4116 is a stainless steel known for being relatively easy to hone and sharpen. While it may not hold an edge as long as some ultra-hard super steels, you can quickly touch it up with a pocket stone or strop while out in the field.

G10 is an excellent choice for a hunting knife because it is non-porous and provides a high-traction, grippy texture. Even when wet or covered in field dressing debris, the handle maintains its grip, making it safer to use than smooth wood or polished bone.

The 4.7-inch blade is a versatile length that strikes a good balance between control for fine detail work and enough length for larger cuts. It is well-suited for skinning and quartering deer or similar-sized game without feeling unwieldy.

The sheath is designed for safe carry, but it relies on a traditional friction fit and a retention strap. It is durable and classic, though it lacks the 'click' retention found in modern Kydex sheaths, so ensure the strap is snapped securely when moving through brush.

A Rockwell hardness of 55-57 HRC indicates a balance between edge retention and toughness. This range is ideal for a hunting knife because it is hard enough to stay sharp through a job, but soft enough to resist chipping or breaking if you accidentally hit bone.
