Experience from the Shogun team

During a bushcraft weekend, the balance of this knife immediately stood out. The overmoulded rubber handle provided excellent grip, even with wet hands. The cast metal hand guard gave extra confidence during heavy-duty chopping tasks.

Performance and sharpness of this survival knife

The AUS-6 steel is known for its good balance between sharpness and stainless character. The combo-edge cutting edge combines a plain blade with a serrated section, ideal for rope, wood and general camping tasks. The Bowie blade shape with clip point ensures excellent penetration and control.

Grip and ease of use

The overmoulded rubber handle effectively absorbs shocks and prevents fatigue. The cast metal hand guard is a welcome safety feature during heavy use. Due to the weight of 840 grams, prolonged use does require some strength.

Who is this survival knife suitable for?

This knife is suitable for experienced outdoor enthusiasts looking for a reliable tool for survival, bushcraft or hunting. Due to its size and weight, it is less suitable for EDC or beginners who prefer a compact knife.

Maintenance and durability

The AUS-6 steel is reasonably corrosion-resistant but benefits from regular cleaning and light oiling after use. The anodised blade finish provides extra protection against corrosion. The included nylon sheath protects the knife during transport.
