Outdoor Survival Knife II | Walther

Outdoor Survival Knife II | Walther – Robust bushcraft knife for outdoor adventures

The Outdoor Survival Knife II from Walther is a solid bushcraft knife specifically developed for demanding outdoor situations. This knife combines a 440C steel blade with a practical spear point blade shape, perfect for survival tasks and general camping use. With its unique 5 cm long groove on the cutting edge, this knife is particularly suitable for working with wood and bark.

Experience from the Shogun team

During a multi-day bushcraft trip, we noticed how comfortable this survival knife feels in the hand, even after hours of use. The black coating on the blade proved practical against reflections, although it does require regular maintenance after intensive use.

Performance and sharpness of this knife

The blade is made from 440C steel – a reliable steel type that offers a good balance between sharpness and ease of maintenance. This steel remains razor-sharp with normal use and cuts effortlessly through rope, wood and food. The black blade finish provides extra protection against corrosion and features a plain-edge grind for optimal cutting performance.

Grip and ease of use

The ergonomic grip with TPR rubber inserts ensures excellent control, even with wet hands. The knife has a good balance between blade and handle. The linerlock locking mechanism operates smoothly and the knife can be opened one-handed via the manual opening mechanism, which is practical during outdoor activities.

Who is this knife suitable for?

This outdoor knife is ideal for the serious bushcrafter and survival enthusiast looking for a reliable work knife. Also suitable for campers who want more than a basic pocket knife. For pure EDC users, its total length of 24 cm and blade length of 10.5 cm may be a bit large. The weight of 245 grams makes it a substantial but not overly heavy tool.

Maintenance and durability

The 440C steel is reasonably rust-resistant but requires regular cleaning and light oiling after use. The coating provides extra protection but may show signs of wear with intensive use. The supplied nylon sheath protects the knife excellently during transport and is a valuable addition to this complete package.
