Introducing the Coe

Handmade 2.75" Gralloch Knife – 14C28N Stainless Steel | Acid Storm Kirinite

 

Designed specifically for Roe deer, Muntjac and Chinese Water Deer, this handcrafted 3-inch gralloch knife is a compact and highly controllable tool for field dressing smaller deer species.

The 2.75” blade is made from premium 14C28N stainless steel, chosen for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance and ease of maintenance in demanding hunting conditions. The blade profile provides precise control during the gralloch, helping you work cleanly and efficiently when opening the carcass and carrying out delicate cutting tasks.

The handle is crafted from striking Acid Storm Kirinite, offering exceptional durability, weather resistance and a secure grip even in wet or cold conditions. Paired with Turbo Glow yellow liners, the knife is easy to locate in low light, dense cover or when set down during field work.

This knife is built for stalkers who want a purpose-designed tool for smaller deer species: compact enough for precise work, yet robust enough for repeated use throughout the season. Every Wildriver Forge knife is individually handcrafted, making each piece a unique combination of performance, craftsmanship and Scottish hunting heritage.
