The Ultralight Hunter Set 2.0
3 knives. Minimal weight. Everything you need for the hunt.
The Kestrel Ultralight Hunter Set is the skeletonized version of our Outdoorsman Set, built for hunters who count every ounce but still want the right tool for every job.
By eliminating the G10 handles and going with our skeleton designs, you get a complete field setup without unnecessary weight in your pack.
The Steel Skeleton Ovis Hunter is your all purpose hunting knife, built to handle the majority of the work from the first cut through breaking down an animal.
The Steel Skeleton Skinner gives you a dedicated skinning blade with plenty of usable edge and control for making quick, efficient work of an animal.
The Mountain Caper handles the precision work. Compact, lightweight, and extremely controllable, it is built for caping, working around the face and eyes, and making the detailed cuts where a larger hunting knife can become cumbersome.
Together, these 3 knives give you the versatility to handle just about any hunt while keeping weight to an absolute minimum.
All the capability. None of the unnecessary weight.

Used my Kestrel knife on my antelope buck. This is the third animal that I’ve used the knife on and it works awesome. It’s so light and thin you don’t even know it’s in your pack. ...

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

I’ve owned an Ovis Hunter for years (10+ I think) and it’s a great knife. It holds an edge and sharpens easily, it’s bombproof, and it fits so well in my hand even when it’s covere...
