Asym | Takumitak

Asym | Takumitak – reliable outdoor knife for demanding tasks

This fixed blade knife from Takumitak combines a practical Sheepfoot blade shape with robust 3Cr13 stainless steel. With a blade length of 11.3 cm, this outdoor knife is suitable for bushcraft, camping, and general outdoor use. The black oxide finish not only gives the knife a rugged appearance but also provides extra protection against the elements.

Experience from the Shogun team

During a weekend of bushcraft, we tested this knife extensively. The grip remained stable even with wet hands, and the balance felt natural when working with branches. The Sheepfoot design made controlled cutting surprisingly easy.

Performance and sharpness of this fixed blade knife

The 3Cr13 steel offers a good balance between sharpness and ease of maintenance. With a hardness of 56 HRC, the blade retains its edge reasonably well and is easy to resharpen. The Sheepfoot shape with plain-edge grind is ideal for controlled cutting of rope, wood, and food. This stainless steel requires less maintenance than carbon steel.

Grip and ease of use

The handle provides a firm, comfortable grip that does not tire the hand even during intensive use. As a fixed blade knife, this model does not require an opening mechanism or locking system – it is always ready for use. The included polymer sheath ensures safe transport.

Who is this fixed blade knife suitable for?

This outdoor knife is perfect for bushcrafters and campers looking for a reliable work knife without a premium price tag. Beginners will appreciate the low-maintenance features, while experienced users can value the versatility and well-considered Sheepfoot design for precision work.

Maintenance and durability

Thanks to the stainless steel and black oxide blade finish, this knife is very easy to maintain. Rinse after use, dry thoroughly, and store in the sheath. Occasional oiling keeps the hinge smooth. The 3Cr13 steel sharpens easily with a standard sharpening stone.
