Experience from the Shogun team

During a weekend trip in the Ardennes, we thoroughly tested this outdoor knife. What immediately stood out was the weight (202 grams) – heavier than expected, but this gives a solid feel. The glass breaker proved useful for breaking kindling.

Performance and sharpness of this pocket knife

The D2 steel of this outdoor knife is a semi-stainless steel known for its high durability and long-lasting sharpness. Perfect for cutting rope, wood and food. The blackwash finish provides extra protection against corrosion, although D2 does require regular maintenance.

Grip and ease of use

The synthetic handle with finger grooves offers an ergonomic grip, even with wet hands. The thumb hole and flipper make one-handed opening easy, and the liner lock secures the knife firmly. The jimpings on the spine provide extra control for precision work.

Who is this pocket knife suitable for?

This survival knife is ideal for advanced users looking for a heavy, reliable knife for outdoor activities or tactical use. For EDC it may be a bit heavy, but the reversible pocket clip does make daily carry possible.

Maintenance and durability

D2 steel is a semi-stainless steel, so regular oiling after use is recommended. The knife is relatively easy to sharpen with a whetstone. The scratch-resistant blade finish helps keep the blade looking good during intensive use.
