This great new knife is built as a multipurpose knife for hunting, bushcraft and general use in the great outdoors. The blade is 10cm long and made using 3.8mm thick Austrian made O2 high carbon tool steel (Böhler K720) and heat treated to achieve a hardness of 58-60 HRC. The knives are ground with a shaving sharp scandi grind and have a satin finish. This steel in combination with the grind makes these knives great for wood preperation, very easy to sharpen and they take a great edge.

The handle is made from Curly Birch but also available in Classic Oak, Bubinga or green Canvas Micarta. There are black liners between the handle scales and steel to enhance durability over time. The wood has been treated with a traditional Scandinavian linseed oil based varnish.

The knife comes with a sturdy welted sheath made from cognac brown 3mm vegetable tanned full-grain leather. The sheath features an extra wide belt loop, a fluid draining hole and a lanyard hole.

ABOUT THE STEEL: O2 HIGH CARBON TOOL STEEL

Böhler Tool Steel K720 is a very tough and strong oil hardened high carbon tool steel. The chemical composition allows it to be hardened to a high degree whilst maintaining ductility and toughness at the same time as it is easy to sharpen and can obtain a razor sharp edge. Whilst easy to sharpen, the low chromium content means it will tarnish if left wet and it must therefore be wiped after use and protected by oil or wax when put away for storage. Steel analysis: C. 0.9%, Si. 0.25%, Mn. 2.0%, Cr. 0.35% V. 0.1% (HRC 58-60)

What 's new about the new version :
- Now available with Handles in curly birch.
- Available with Full Flat grind or Scandinavian grind.
- The handle is a little longer, and fuller, now fits more hand sizes, even larger hands .
- The position of the index finger has been moved up and the finger guard is slightly reduced in order to be able to get closer to the blade in a convenient way with different grips .
- The blade is slightly wider to increase strength for really rough use .
- The cutting edge is slightly straighter, even the tip of the knife, and is therefore easier to carve with.
- Brass rivets that give a classic look .
- The sheath has a belt loop that sticks up and finishes just under the end of the shaft to make sure the knife doesn’t become uncomfortable when sitting with it on the belt.
- The side sheath stitching has now been completed with a rivet at the top, and the belt loop is now attached with rivets instead of stitching to increase durability and operating life of the sheath.
