Antidote | Takumitak – robust outdoor knife for demanding tasks

The Takumitak Antidote is a fixed blade knife featuring a distinctive cleaver blade shape, perfect for outdoor and bushcraft tasks where strength is essential. The 3Cr13 steel with black oxide finish provides a rugged appearance and extra protection against the elements.

Experience from the Shogun team

During a bushcraft weekend, the powerful chopping action of this knife immediately stood out. The heavy cleaver design made splitting kindling surprisingly easy, while the grip remained stable even with wet hands.

Performance and sharpness of this outdoor knife

The 3Cr13 steel offers a good balance between sharpness and ease of maintenance. With a hardness of 56 HRC, it retains its edge reasonably well and is easy to sharpen. The cleaver shape with plain-edge grind is ideal for chopping wood and heavy-duty cutting tasks.

Grip and ease of use

This fixed blade knife features a comfortable handle that feels pleasant even during intensive use. The balance is nicely forward due to the blade length of 10.79 cm, which supports chopping movements. The included synthetic sheath protects the knife during transport.

Who is this outdoor knife suitable for?

The Antidote is perfect for bushcrafters and outdoor enthusiasts looking for a powerful work knife. The cleaver design makes it less suitable for fine cutting, but all the better for heavy-duty tasks in nature.

Maintenance and durability

The 3Cr13 steel is reasonably rust-resistant, but regular cleaning and light oiling are recommended. The black oxide finish offers extra protection against corrosion. After use in damp conditions, simply dry it off and the knife will remain in top condition for years.
