Breakdown
If you only want to take one knife into the backcountry, this is the one for you. We've used the Argali Carbon knife to cut up an entire bull elk without the need for resharpening. It's made from premium S35VN steel for superior edge retention and textured G10 handles to keep it secure in your hand no matter the circumstances. This carbon knife is razor-sharp with a full-handled ergonomic grip with the weight of a skeletonized knife. The Kydex sheath comes with a single tension screw to allow you to customize how hard your knife "locks" in.

"strong edge, very sharp blade, and extremely light weight"
"My got to knife. Holds an edge forever."
"Knife is beautiful. Lightweight. As described. The item did not arrive on time for my hunt despite paying the expedite fee (they did reimburse me for that) so, I didn't get to use it, unfortunately. I also wish the sheath had a belt loop attachment, but not a big deal. Otherwise, nice product. Pretty expensive."
"Deadly sharp. Used it on a small axis doe and held edge great. Still in the trials so I can’t tell if it will stand the test of time but so far my favorite knife I’ve ever used."
"Great products"
"I like the design of this knife, the extra jimping on the back of the blade is great for delicate work. The handle is a touch cramped but with the textured g10 you’re hand doesn’t slip so it’s all good."
"Great knife. Extremely light weight and I love the blade and handle design. I have the Benchmade steep country knife also but will be using the Argali more often. Just purchased another one as a Christmas present for my son."
"I have now used this knife on 2 elk this season, a cow during Idaho archery and a bull in Montana. On both elk, I was by myself and used this knife to skin, quarter and debone them. I did touch up the knife between hunts but the blade holds an edge very well. I wear a size Large in gloves but find this knife very easy to hold and use. The grip has great texture, and is easy to hold even when bloody. I highly recommend this for the hunter who counts ounces but still wants to rely on 1 knife to get the job done. As an added benefit, the flat blade is super easy to sharpen on my Edge Pro knife sharpener."
"I bought this because I had been using the Gerber Vitale and I just wasn't 100% satisfied with the design. When breaking down elk, with everything being slippery, my thumb occasionally hits the release button on the blade 2-3 times. Never had an accident, but in the backcountry I try to minimize the "what if's". It could be a disaster if I get cut bad. Plus I always break a blade at some point in the process, usually trying to open a joint. So I wanted a light weight fixed blade for backcountry hunting. I haven't broken down an elk with the Argali yet, so while very sharp now, I can't speak to how long it holds an edge. I gave it 4 stars because this is lighter than say my old folding Buck knife, but I don't know if I would classify it as light weight. It's certainly heavier than my Gerber setup and there are lighter fix blade setups that I probably should have researched more, but it's not enough of a difference to return it. Good, but not perfect for my backpack style hunting. I also would have liked to see a little more of a guard between the handle and blade. Again, when the the hands are covered in blood, you're tired as hell and maybe cold, you don't want your hand sliding up from the handle to the blade. It could use a little more of a tang? or guard to stop it from happening. Also, this may be my error, but I don't see a tension screw for adjusting the kydex sheath and there weren't any instructions to point me to something. Not a big deal, seems tight enough and this will be within a small kill kit that keeps everything compact and snug, but just mentioning it."
"Used it on an elk. Took down the entire animal without a problem. It’s in the dishwasher now getting ready for mule deer!"
