Frequently Asked Questions
Is this knife truly ready to use out of the box?
Absolutely. Each knife is professionally sharpened and inspected before shipping. It will arrive with a working edge capable of handling demanding bushcraft and survival tasks immediately. Many users still choose to put their own final edge on it based on personal preference.
Why is a full tang with a guard important?
The full tang is non-negotiable for a survival knife it prevents the handle from breaking under extreme stress like batoning. The guard is a critical safety feature that prevents your hand from sliding onto the blade during forceful or wet-use scenarios, a key difference between a tool knife and a tactical fighter.
How does the pinewood liner in the sheath help?
The pinewood liner inside the leather sheath serves two purposes: it protects the stitching from being cut by the sharp blade and it provides a rigid structure for safe and easy re-sheathing. This traditional construction method significantly enhances the sheath's durability and safety.
