Custom Ovis Hunter
Build Your Ovis. Your Knife. Your Way.
With our Custom Build an Ovis Program, you can create an Ovis Hunter 2.0 that's uniquely yours. Choose your preferred blade finish, handle color, and available options to build a knife that fits your style, your gear, and the way you hunt. Whether you want something that stands out or blends into the backcountry, the choice is yours.
Built for the Hunt. Ready for Anything.
Built as an all-purpose mountain hunting knife, the Ovis Hunter 2.0 is made for hunters who push their gear hard and expect it to perform every mile of the way. From breaking down quarters to fine, controlled detail work, this knife is designed to move seamlessly between heavy cuts and precision tasks without hesitation.
The Ovis Hunter features a slight trailing-point blade with an upswept tip optimized for skinning and slicing. This geometry creates an elongated belly with plenty of usable edge, allowing for long, efficient cuts while maintaining a fine, precise point for delicate work where control matters most.
Featuring a MagnaCut blade and 3D-contoured G10 handles, the Ovis Hunter 2.0 delivers exceptional toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. It's steel you can trust in wet weather, long seasons, and hard use—built to take a beating, stay sharp, and keep working when the hunt demands more.
Backed by our Kestrel For Life Program, every Ovis Hunter includes a lifetime warranty, free lifetime sharpening, and the customer service you deserve.

What Kestrel customers are saying

Being a professional guide and a son of a ranch butcher, I've skinned a lot of animals and a knife that can hold a sharp edge is a must. I've used many brands of knives and Kestrel Knives are the only one I've found that can hold a sharp edge the longest. I bought my first EDC about 3 years ago and skinned 2 elk and a 1,200 lbs buffalo with it so far and still haven't had to use my wet stone to resharpen it.

What a great knife. These are the lightest weight knives I’ve ever seen and truly a necessity for the backcountry hunter.

The trip was amazing, man. I live in northern BC, Fort Nelson, a couple hours’ drive and 5 of our horses. 20 km trip into base camp, and day rides from there. 9 days on horses, 180+ km between boots and horseback. On the 7th day I shot my ram.The knife was amazing. My dad had his Havalon and I had my Kestrel. His Havalon handle snapped on him, and we finished the caping with my Kestrel
