Experience from the Shogun team

During our test, we immediately noticed how comfortable this knife feels in the hand despite its compact size. The balance is well thought out and the weight of 300 grams feels solid without being heavy. In wet conditions, the grip offers sufficient hold.

Performance and sharpness of this knife

The 3Cr13 steel is a practical choice that is stainless and retains its sharpness reasonably well. With a hardness of 56 HRC, the knife is easy to sharpen. The Tanto shape with plain-edge grind cuts efficiently through rope, cardboard, and food. It is less suitable for heavy woodwork.

This fixed blade knife does not require an opening mechanism or lock. The ergonomic grip provides good control during cutting tasks. The knife comes with a practical plastic sheath for safe transport. The total length of 16.51 cm makes it compact enough for everyday carry.

Who is this knife suitable for?

The Big Head is ideal for beginners looking for a reliable outdoor knife without a large investment. Experienced users also appreciate this knife as a backup or for lighter tasks. Its compact size makes it suitable for campers, hikers, and as a general-purpose knife at home or in the workshop.

Maintenance and durability

Thanks to the stainless steel, this knife requires minimal maintenance. Rinse it after use, dry it well, and oil the blade occasionally. The black oxide finish provides extra protection against corrosion. The 3Cr13 steel is easy to sharpen with a standard sharpening stone when needed.
