The black leather sheath, featuring a detachable clip and a two-position mounting system, allows you to customize how the knife is carried on your belt and with your other gear.

Nitro X7 with a hardness of 61–62 HRC

The blade is made of Nitro X7 stainless steel with a hardness of 61–62 HRC. This material provides good corrosion resistance, edge retention, and properties suitable for regular field use. After contact with moisture, food, or dirt, the blade should be cleaned and thoroughly dried.

Drop Point, flat grind, and Stonewashed

The Drop Point profile offers a durable tip, a wide spine, and versatile geometry for cutting, whittling, and camp tasks. The flat grind ensures smooth glide through materials, while the Stonewashed finish minimizes the appearance of fine scratches, scuffs, and signs of wear.

Brown Paperstone and Full Tang Construction

The Paperstone Brown grips are made from layers of paper bonded with resin and pressed under pressure. The material is stable, moisture-resistant, and easy to maintain. The Full Tang construction means that the blade tang extends the entire length of the handle, increasing the knife’s rigidity and durability.

Technical data

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I care for Nitro X7 steel?

After use, clean the blade and dry it thoroughly. After contact with water, food, or salt, it is recommended to wash the blade with a mild detergent and, before long-term storage, protect it with a thin layer of preservative.

How do you sharpen a flat-ground blade?

You can use ceramic or diamond sharpening stones, or a guided sharpening system. The most important thing is to maintain a consistent angle and guide the edge evenly along its entire length.

What does “Full Tang” construction mean?

“Full Tang” means that the steel tang of the blade extends the entire length of the handle. This increases the rigidity of the construction, the stability of the grip, and the knife’s resistance to stress during field work.

How do you care for a Paperstone handle?

Paperstone can be cleaned with a damp cloth or water and a mild detergent. After washing, the handle should be thoroughly dried. It does not require the oiling typically needed for natural wood.

How to care for the leather sheath?

Store the sheath in a dry place and do not leave a wet knife inside it. The leather can be periodically treated with a product designed for leather goods, taking care to avoid over-saturation.
