Chupacabra
The Chupacabra is a compact fixed blade built for serious users who demand performance from their gear. Crafted from 80CrV2 steel and heat-treated for excellent toughness and consistent edge retention, this knife is ready for everyday work, outdoor tasks, and time in the field.
At the heart of the design is a trailing point blade, known for its long sweeping belly and exceptional slicing ability. This blade profile provides outstanding control and precision, making it ideal for skinning, field dressing, and fine cutting tasks where a smooth, controlled cut matters most.
The textured Micarta handle offers a secure, ergonomic grip that performs reliably in wet, cold, or demanding environments. Combined with full-tang construction, the Chupacabra delivers maximum strength and durability when the job gets tough. The robust spine and choil allow for confident thumb placement and controlled work when precision is required.
Finished with Cerakote H Series, the blade resists wear while minimizing glare in the field. A heavy-duty Kydex sheath with adjustable retention and UltiClip ensures secure, dependable carry whether worn on a belt, pack, or waistband.
Specifications
Blade steel: 80CrV2 (heat-treated for toughness and consistent edge retention)
Blade length: 2 7/8 Inches
Overall length: 6 5/8 inches
Blade thickness: 1/8 Inch
Hardness: 58–61 HRC (typical for 80CrV2 when properly heat-treated)
Handle material: Micarta (textured for grip, resistant to moisture and temperature changes)
Handle construction: Full tang with Screw Hardware
Sheath: Heavy-duty Kydex with adjustable retention
Finish: Cerekote H Series
Origin: Designed by veterans and first responders; manufactured to rugged use standards
Features
Tough, resilient blade steel: 80CrV2 offers outstanding impact resistance and edge durability for heavy use.
Practical blade profile: A drop point blade, the workhorse of blade shapes, a jack of all trades.
Ergonomic micarta handles: Comfortable in prolonged use, non-slip when wet, and highly resistant to oils and temperature extremes.
Full-tang construction: Maximizes strength and durability for demanding tasks.
Robust spine and choil: Ready for controlled batoning and precise thumb placement.
Low-maintenance finish options: Cerekote minimize glare and reduce the appearance of wear.
Secure carry: Kydex sheath provides safe, accessible carry with adjustable retention and UltiClip for maximum hold.
Field serviceable: Standard hardware allows for handle replacement or on-the-trail adjustments.
Use
Everyday utility: Boxes, rope, zip ties, tape, plastic—clean, predictable cuts.
Hunting & game processing: Skinning, field dressing, caping. The belly and controllable tip shine here.
Camping & bushcraft: Feather sticks, carving, food prep, light batoning (with a sturdy spine).
General outdoor use: Fishing tasks, camp chores, gear repair.
EDC (where legal): Non-threatening profile, versatile, easy to live with.
Care and Maintenance
Initial preparation: Comes with a heavy coat of Food Safe mineral oil. wipe with clean dry towel or rag.
Cleaning: After use, clean with warm water and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly to prevent surface oxidation. Avoid prolonged soaking.
Rust prevention: Although 80CrV2 is tough, it is a carbon steel alloy and benefits from regular oiling. Apply a thin film of gun oil, mineral oil, or food-safe blade oil before storage or after exposure to moisture.
Sharpening: Maintain edge with a medium-to-fine stone or guided system. 80CrV2 accepts a keen edge—use 400–1000 grit for repairs and 3000–8000 grit for finishing. Stropping restores a keen, polished edge.
Handle care: Micarta requires minimal upkeep; clean with mild soap and water, avoid harsh solvents, and dry thoroughly. apply a light coat of food safe mineral oil to keep looking new. Minor surface wear can be smoothed with fine sandpaper if desired.
Sheath care: Kydex—wash with mild soap and water and dry. A light coat of mineral oil keeps the kydex looking new and helps prevent rust on the UltiClip..
Storage: Store in a dry, ventilated area. If storing long-term, apply a protective oil coating to the blade and avoid sealed plastic environments that can trap moisture.
