Discover the Classic Knife: Durable Steel at Its Core
The Classic knife showcased here features a blade crafted from CPM 3V powder steel, a steel manufactured by Crucible Industries in the United States. Known for producing esteemed steels like CPM S35VN and CPM S45VN, Crucible Industries selected CPM 3V for its exceptional resistance to chipping and impressive durability, making it ideal for large-size knives that endure heavy use and potential overload.
One notable characteristic of CPM 3V steel is its slow wear rate, ensuring that the blade remains sharp for extended periods. While CPM 3V is not stainless steel, the presented knife is finished with the acid-stonewash method to simplify maintenance and provide a dark-colored blade. This finishing technique also helps conceal any imperfections that may arise during use, ensuring the knife maintains its aesthetic appeal.
In terms of construction, the knife boasts a full-tang design, making it one of the most robust and reliable options among fixed blade knives. The full-tang construction involves the blade extending the entire length of the handle, enhancing strength and durability. This construction style is highly favored by knife enthusiasts for its ability to withstand demanding tasks and provide exceptional longevity.
Unleash the Power: Introducing the Mighty Blade
The knife features a drop point style blade with a spine measuring 5.2 mm (0.2″) in thickness. With its flat grind, this blade design ensures smooth cutting performance and versatility in tasks such as piercing, planing, batoning, and meal preparation. Measuring at 170 mm (6.7″), the blade provides ample length, while the intentionally sharpened spine allows for efficient work with flint materials.
Durable and Functional Handles: Micarta’s Superior Performance
The handles of our knife are expertly crafted using Micarta, a remarkable material that offers exceptional resistance to moisture, temperature fluctuations, solvents, acids, and mechanical damage. Renowned for its versatile properties, Micarta not only boasts impressive durability but can also be styled to mimic natural materials, providing both visual appeal and a reliable non-slip texture. The handles are securely fastened using hexagonal screws for added stability.
Furthermore, the handle design incorporates a subtle finger undercut, ensuring a secure grip and minimizing the risk of accidental slippage along the cutting edge. To enhance the knife’s practicality, a hole is positioned at the end of the handle, allowing for additional security measures such as attaching a rope, paracord, or other securing elements. Additionally, the hole can accommodate a section of paracord with or without a bead, serving as both a decorative feature and an extra gripping aid for effortless knife retrieval from the sheath.
Artisan-Crafted Leather Sheath: A Perfect Companion for Your Knife
For optimal protection and convenient carrying, our knife comes with a meticulously handcrafted leather sheath. Crafted from high-quality vegetable-tanned leather, this sheath embodies both durability and timeless elegance. The stitches are carefully executed using thick threads, creating a robust and visually striking stitching pattern. The edges of the sheath are impeccably finished, ensuring a smooth and refined appearance.
Designed with practicality in mind, the sheath features a generously sized eyelet that easily accommodates attachment to a belt, offering secure and convenient portability. To provide enhanced security, the knife is safeguarded against accidental slips or falls by a sturdy belt loop equipped with a substantial latch.
