Sentinel | Takumitak

Sentinel | Takumitak – robust outdoor knife for demanding tasks

This fixed blade knife from Takumitak is built for intensive use in the field. With a blade length of 14 cm and a thick 4.93 mm D2 steel blade shape in spearpoint design, the Sentinel is suitable for bushcraft and survival knife applications. The flat grind ensures excellent cutting performance.

Experience from the Shogun team

During a multi-day bushcraft expedition, the balance of this knife immediately stood out. The G10 handles provide ergonomic grip even with wet hands. The weight of 318 grams feels substantial without being tiring during prolonged use.

Performance and sharpness of this survival knife

The D2 steel with a hardness of 62 HRC remains impressively razor-sharp for a long time. This semi-stainless steel requires a bit more maintenance but offers superior edge retention. The spearpoint blade shape with plain-edge finish cuts effortlessly through rope, wood and is precise enough for fine cutting tasks.

Grip and ease of use

The CNC-machined G10 handles are lightweight yet very strong. They offer excellent grip, even when in contact with oil or water. The included kydex sheath with pressure retention keeps the knife securely in place and allows quick access with a single movement.

Who is this outdoor knife suitable for?

The Sentinel is ideal for experienced outdoor enthusiasts looking for a reliable survival knife. Due to its weight and size, it is less suitable for light hikes, but perfect for bushcraft, camping and survival situations where a robust fixed blade knife is essential.

Maintenance and durability

The D2 steel requires regular maintenance to prevent rust formation. Clean the knife after use, dry it thoroughly and apply a thin layer of oil. The chrome blade finish offers some protection but is not completely stainless. With proper maintenance, this knife will last for generations.
