With a blade length of 10.79 cm and an overall length of 22.86 cm, this knife sits comfortably in the hand. The black handle provides sufficient grip for safe use. As a fixed blade knife, it has no opening mechanism or locking system, which makes the construction simple and reliable.

Who is this outdoor knife suitable for?

This knife is ideal for beginners looking for a reliable first fixed blade knife, but also for experienced outdoor enthusiasts who want a no-nonsense work knife. It is suitable for campers, bushcrafters, and anyone seeking a solid knife for general use without spending a fortune.

Maintenance and durability

The 3Cr13 steel is reasonably corrosion-resistant, but regular cleaning and light oiling are recommended for optimal performance. The black oxide finish provides extra protection against corrosion. After use in damp conditions, it is advisable to dry the knife. The steel is easy to sharpen with a standard sharpening stone.
