Cold Steel Pendleton Mini Hunter — 3" Fixed Blade, Stonewashed CPM 3V, Black Textured Kray-Ex™ Handle (with Sheath)
Model: CS-36LPMF / CS36LPMF • UPC: 705442019930
Compact, capable, and tough enough for a lifetime in the field, the Cold Steel Pendleton Mini Hunter is the small fixed blade that punches way above its size. Designed with the legendary Lloyd Pendleton profile, this model features a 3-inch plain-edge blade of American CPM 3V high-carbon tool steel with a stonewashed finish to shrug off wear. A black, textured Kray-Ex™ handle locks in a secure, non-slip grip, and the knife ships with a fitted sheath so it’s ready to ride on your belt, in a pack, or on a chest rig the day it arrives.
Why the Pendleton Mini Hunter Stands Out
Premium CPM 3V Steel: Renowned for outstanding toughness and edge stability, CPM 3V resists chipping and excels in demanding cutting chores—from field dressing to camp utility.
Stonewashed Working Finish: Low-glare and scratch-hiding; keeps the blade looking clean after quartering, kindling prep, or cardboard duty.
Pendleton Geometry: A purposeful drop-style hunting profile with a fine point for detail work and enough belly for efficient slicing.
Kray-Ex™ Traction: Textured, rubbery handle stays grippy in rain, sweat, or with gloves; contours promote secure indexing and control.
Compact Fixed-Blade Confidence: No lock to fail. Short overall length carries comfortably yet gives full, precise control at the edge.

Field-Ready Performance You Can Feel
From caping and joint work to general camp tasks, the Mini Hunter’s blade geometry provides a confident, controllable cut. CPM 3V maintains a keen, working edge through abrasive media and resists micro-chipping under torsion—exactly what you want when you’re pushing through hide, cartilage, zip-ties, or tough wood fibers. The stonewash reduces visual signature and makes post-hunt cleanups a breeze.
Ergonomics & Control
Secure, No-Slip Grip: Kray-Ex™ texture and subtle palm swell lock into your hand, even when wet.
Precision Indexing: Neutral balance supports tip control for careful cuts, while the generous belly glides through long slices.
All-Day Comfort: Rounded transitions minimize hotspots during prolonged use.
Sheath & Carry
The included sheath provides firm retention and a smooth draw. Mount on a belt, pack strap, or inside a pack organizer. Keep grit out of the sheath to preserve finish and ensure consistent presentation in the field.
Ideal Use Cases
Hunting & Game Processing: Caping, skinning touch-ups, opening cavities, and detail cuts where control matters.
Outdoor & Camp: Tinder prep, cordage management, food packaging, and light carving.
EDC & Utility: A compact fixed blade for warehouse, ranch, or shop tasks when a folder isn’t ideal.
Care & Maintenance (CPM 3V)
Clean & Dry: After exposure to moisture, blood, or acidic foods, rinse, dry, and lightly oil the edge.
Edge Touch-Ups: Use fine diamond or ceramic stones; frequent, light passes keep 3V razor-keen.
Sheath Hygiene: Rinse out dust and debris; let dry fully to protect the finish.
Storage: Store sheathed in a dry place; add a thin film of oil for long intervals.
Safety & Compliance
Cut on stable surfaces and in a safe direction.
Store sheathed and out of reach of children.
Follow local laws for fixed-blade carry and transport.
