Experience from the Shogun team

During a weekend trip, we thoroughly tested this pocket knife. What stood out most was how effortlessly the knife cut through rope and cardboard. The backlock locking mechanism felt solid, although it was occasionally a bit stiff during intensive use.

Performance and sharpness of this pocket knife

The AUS10A steel is a Japanese steel type known for its excellent balance between hardness (60 HRC) and ease of maintenance. This knife remains razor-sharp and cuts effortlessly through wood, rope, and food. The plain-edge grind provides a smooth cutting surface that is easy to maintain.

Grip and ease of use

The G-10 material of the handle offers an ergonomic grip, even in wet conditions. The backlock mechanism feels reliable. This knife can be opened one-handed thanks to the thumb stud, which significantly increases ease of use during daily tasks.

Who is this pocket knife suitable for?

This pocket knife is ideal for the EDC user looking for a reliable, lightweight knife. Perfect for beginners due to its ease of use, but experienced users will also appreciate the quality and minimalist black design.

Maintenance and durability

The AUS10A steel has good corrosion resistance, but we recommend cleaning and lightly oiling the knife after use. The pocket clip made of stainless steel remains firmly in place for years and ensures the knife is always accessible.
