The blade is made in cutlery steel HRC59, which sharpens very well. It is made with a double flat grind, also named "Scandi grind".

The scabbard is reproduced from the "Knives & Scabbards" book. It is sewn with a Campbell's waxed linen thread with the saddler point technique.

A wrist strap is provided, allowing the knife to be hung from a belt or hung up in your camp.

To know :

- My knives are not perfect, they all have small flaws, which make them unique and give them a soul.

- Be careful when you put the blade back in your case, there is a side, look closely at the sheath curvature to determine the good blade side. Put the blade back in the sheath gently and carefully (do not pierce your sheath).

Maintenance Tips :

Use rapeseed oil to maintain the handle of your knife.

Clean and lubricate your blade regularly.
