Night Shark Series
Hook Knife 5"

The Night Shark Series is purpose-built for adventurers, butchers, hunters, fishermen, and anyone who works in demanding environments. Engineered to excel in both outdoor and professional settings, these knives feature rugged, non-slip Shark Skin™ handles and titanium-coated blades designed to withstand the harshest conditions.

The Night Shark Series is crafted from 7CR17MOV stainless steel, known for its rugged durability, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance. This tough steel sharpens to a razor edge, holds its sharpness well through heavy-duty tasks, is extremely resistant to chipping, and withstands harsh environments, making it ideal for outdoor, butchery, and professional kitchen use.

The Black Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating enhances the blade’s durability, corrosion resistance, and non-stick properties. This tough coating protects against rust, reduces friction for smoother slicing, and makes cleaning easier—perfect for outdoor adventures, wet environments, and messy butchery tasks.

The Night Shark Series features a non-slip Shark Skin™ texture handle made from a combination of polypropylene and thermoplastic rubber. This high-tech, waterproof material is resistant to extreme temperature, and provides a secure grip even in slippery conditions, such as when working with fish, meat, or wet environments.

Each Night Shark knife is meticulously sharpened to a razor-sharp 16-18° edge using Dalstrong’s advanced D3™ sharpening process. This ensures precision cutting power right out of the box. The blade holds its sharpness well, and regular honing with occasional sharpening will keep it performing at its best.

Designed for low maintenance, just rinse it off and dry before placing it in its sheath. When at home, hand wash your knife with warm water and mild soap, then dry thoroughly before storing it in its tactical ballistic nylon sheath. Avoid using overly abrasive scrubbers to protect the Titanium Nitride coating. Avoid placing it in the dishwasher, as harsh conditions can dull the blade and damage the handle.

Sharpening frequency depends on how you use it, but the Night Shark Series is designed for easy maintenance. Regular honing helps maintain the blade’s alignment, while occasional sharpening with a whetstone or high-quality sharpener will restore its razor edge when needed.

Dalstrong D3™ (Diamond Detailing) sharpening is a precision process that grinds, polishes, and hones each blade to achieve extreme sharpness. This multi-stage technique, inspired by traditional Japanese Honbazuke methods, creates a scalpel-like edge that withstands daily use, even in demanding outdoor and butchery environments.

Dalstrong’s LionShield™ treatment is an advanced thermal and cryogenic process that strengthens the blade’s microstructure. This treatment improves hardness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention, ensuring your Night Shark knife remains sharp, durable, and reliable through years of heavy use.
