Robust Bushcraft and survival knife developed with survival expert Lars Fält
- Strong tool steel; Durable in hard use such as wood splitting, the edge does not chip or crack
- Scandinavian grind: easy to carve with and easy to sharpen
- Stylish and durable handle in selected fine curly birch
- Very reliable for both general wilderness and longer expeditions

The knife blade is made from thick Sleipner tool steel from Uddeholm with high carbon content to make the knife durable in hard use such as wood splitting, but also some chrome to resist corrosion to some degree. The steel properties along with the Scandinavian grinding make the blade robust while being easy to handle and easy to grind with a small flat sharpener in the woods. The full-tang construction, i.e. the blade goes all the way through the full width and length of the handle, makes the knife very durable and even if the handle is damaged in any way, the knife can still be used without problems.

The handle design is straight and ergonomic and fits both big and small hands. The handle is made of selected curly birch treated with a traditional Scandinavian linseed oil mixture. A sturdy and deep sheath in cognac brown vegetable tanned leather and a leather strap for the handle is included.

About the steel:
Uddeholm Sleipner carbon/tool steel with high carbon content. The chemical composition allows it to be tempered to a high hardness with retained ductility (ability to deform without breakage) and toughness while being easy to grind and capable of obtaining a very sharp and durable egg. Due to some chromium content, it will resist corrosion to some degree compared to a regular carbon steel. Still, the blade should be dried the after use and protected with oil or wax when stored in a high humidity environment.
