Experience from the Shogun team

During a multi-day bushcraft training, we extensively tested this knife. We noticed how stable the knife felt when batoning hardwood and how effortlessly it cut through thick rope, even after intensive use.

Performance and sharpness of this bushcraft knife

The razor-sharp SK-5 steel with a hardness of 57 HRC offers an excellent balance between hardness and toughness. The clip point shape allows for precision work, while the plain-edge grind ensures powerful cuts through wood, rope, and food. This steel retains its sharpness for a long time under heavy use.

Grip and ease of use

The Griv-Ex handle of this fixed blade knife provides superior grip, even with wet or cold hands. The rubber-like material effectively absorbs shocks. With a total length of 275 mm, the knife is perfectly balanced in the hand.

Who is this bushcraft knife suitable for?

This knife is ideal for the serious bushcrafter and survivalist who does not want to compromise. It is less suitable for light EDC use due to its size, but excels at heavy outdoor tasks where reliability is crucial.

Maintenance and durability

SK-5 steel is not stainless, so regular maintenance is essential. Cleaning and lightly oiling the blade after use prevents corrosion. The included Secure-Ex sheath protects the knife excellently during transport and storage.
