Why S35VN Steel-In order to make a knife that would hold an edge to cut an entire elk without needing to be sharpened, we wanted the best steel on the market. We wanted a steel that could hold an edge, but wasn't so hard that you couldn't field hone it if you needed to. With its' high Chromium and Vanadium content, as well as the structural alignment of the steel that occurs during the heat treatment, S35VN is simply the best steel on the market for hunting knives with its' unmatched durability, hardness, edge retention and corrosion resistance.

Your knives hold an edge and has validated my choice for great craftsmanship and trust in your blades. Hoping for it to be used this season.
I have several makes and styles of knives. This is definitely one of the nicest I have. We butchered two deer in one weekend and it was still going strong. Only a little work on the Arkansas stone and it was as good as new. I'm very happy with it.
This was a gift for my brother who is going on a backcountry hunt in Wyoming. He was thrilled with the knife. Very sharp and it feels good in the hand.
Beautifully designed; perfect size; light and compact but still large enough to feel a great purchase on the handle. Comes from the factory razor sharp
Best Knife I have ever owned!! Very lite and comfortable in my hand!
Just like all of the other great Argali products i have bought (and i have alot), its just amazing. The products they put out is the top of the line.
Love this knife. I have two deer so far under its belt and it’s still razor sharp. Absolutely love it.
The original sheath it came with was extremely loose as they have changed the design. The new one releases around 4lbs and the old one is around 14lbs of force. Since the second knife was for my kid, and at 4lbs, I wouldn't want him attaching to anything and just carrying it inside his pack. When I brought this up to them, they had no issues sending me the old version after working with me to resolve the issue.
I have had the pleasure of running many of my buddies knives mkc, benchmades, havalons etc. This one fits my hands perfectly. It's size and sharpness are quite unfathomable. So excited I purchased this knife. Have had the pleasure of owning it a year and working on two elk and 2 deer. Luckily have sharpened them after each animal because towards the deboning I can tell they lose their edge a bit. Overall super happy and will keep buying them if necessary.
Best knife I’ve owned!
This is the best KNIFE I own period! Excellent materials, construction, and weight. I carry this knife in the field all over North America and Overseas.
Thank you for your review of our Serac Knife! We are thrilled to hear that it is your favorite knife and has helped you on your hunts. We appreciate your support and hope you continue to enjoy using it.
Great feel, edge retention etc. Just buy it
Hi George,
Thank you for your positive review of our Serac Knife! We're happy to hear that it's your favorite all-around knife and that you appreciate its great feel and edge retention. We hope it continues to serve you well.
I love a nice fixed blade for pocket carry. I wanted something with a bit thinner stock (slicier) than what I was carrying. This knife is amazing... slips in my pocket and it's so easy to carry every day. Eventually I am going to add a pocket clip leather slip for it... but right now I throw it in as is... and it's as easy to deploy as any folder. Just an amazing knife!
Great knife! Well executed, fully functional, maximally ultralight for a fixed blade. Skeletonized grips along with the metal of the handle is brilliant -- hard to find.
Old backpacker here. Bought as part of a process to shed some gear weight. This blade held up amazingly well and accomplished everything I tasked it with on a recent 4 day excursion.
Liked it so much, I bought another to replace my edc.
We appreciate your kind comments!
Outstanding hunting knife. I used zip ties to secure the sheath to my pack and I am now ready for this years hunting season 🙂 will buy more for next year.
This thing is awesome. Love the grips texture and the way it holds. Sadly this season I haven’t gotten to use it. But I can tell is going to be a hit.
I was able to dress and skin 3 deer without ever sharpening. Absolutely the best knife I have owned.
I have had a few knife set ups for back country hunting, I was running the havalons but kept breaking off or running cheaper fixed blades but they'd lose the edge quickly. Was toying around with mkc and Benchmade then ran i to argali via a friend. It actually made quick work of a recent deer and it was quite enjoyable not having to struggle with a knife. Happy to have gone with the serac after getting a recommendation from one of their reps.
Bought this knife in the leadup to a Colorado deer hunt as I needed to get something more high quality. This knife lived up to my expectations and held its edge through the entire breakdown of a good sized buck. The ergonomics of this knife are great especially with how lightweight it is, the dimpling in the handle made it extremely easy to use even when covered in blood or fat from the deer. 100/10 product.
I’ve skinned and cleaned 2 does very easily. Very lightweight and comfortable to use. Very happy with purchase so far.
I am not a regular review poster but this knife is exceptional! Not too big, not too small, stellar quality build and super light for its size. What is there not to like!
Absolutely hands down the best knife I’ve ever owned!
I have everything from Benchmade to Arno Bernard knives and everything in between and they don’t come close to the performance of this knife! BUY ONE!! If you don’t like it I’ll buy it from you and wonder what’s wrong with you.
The size and shape of the blade along with its durability makes field dressing that much easier. The blade holds it edge well and can do multiple animals before I feel It needs a quick tune up. Sv35 steel is not cheap and argali offers a premium product at an amazing price.
Its very light in weight & feels beefy enough to be safe as well. Pretty sharp with what I consider a great blade size for my hunting set up. Im very happy with the purchase
Thanks Scultzy,
We hope you get to put it to use this year. If you ever need to get it resharpend don't hesitate to send it back to us, with our lifetime free sharpening we will get the edge back to new.

Haven’t used to process animal yet. Packed in pack this spring and used on various hunt / camp tasks. I like how light it is yet very sharp and sturdy.
I had a gerber game knife that was passable however was difficult to use due to the edge being dulled towards the end of field quartering one buck.
I got the Serac as a gift and was amazed at after field quatering and skinning a black bear as well as 2 bucks this season, the Serac was still sharp, not as sharp as when is was virgin but still very sharp.
I then discovered the great sharpening service Argali does on their knives. I sent them the Serac and received it barely a week later sharpened and shipped back to me free of charge. And its back to its impossibly sharp edge.
Thank you Argali.
As expected, this knife is everything I dreamed of and more. Only managed to use it on one deer this fall, but it was butter smooth and stayed incredibly sharp the entire time. Having never owned a quality hunting knife before, the Serac did not disappoint. Holds great, doesn’t get slippery, super sharp, doesn’t seem to loose its edge easily. The quality and ingenuity of the Argali crew and their products are exceptional.
I've cleaned over 100 ducks (teal, mallard, gadwall, pintail, spoonies....) and haven't had to sharpen it at all. I have stropped it a time or three. The sheath was awkward at first but has broken in and is OK now. It is not my favorite design--not really up to the same standard as the knife--but it does the job.
Hello Kevin,
Thank you for your review and feedback. Sounds like you know where to find birds. We are looking at the design of the sheath right now and appreciate your feedback.
