Discover the T9 Knife: Premium Steel at Its Core

The T9 knife presented here is crafted from Elmax steel, a top-quality material widely regarded for its premium knife production. Elmax steel ensures remarkable durability, prolonged sharpness, and excellent anti-corrosion properties, making it perfect for outdoor use. Embodying a full-tang construction, where the blade is made from a single piece of steel, the T11 exhibits unparalleled strength, making it a reliable companion in the wilderness.

Versatile Blade Design and Grind

The 4.0 mm (0.157″) thick drop point blade, featuring a flat grind, offers versatility for smooth cutting and a variety of tasks such as piercing, planing, and food preparation. With a 120 mm (4.72″) blade length and an efficient spine, it is well-suited for flint work and other tasks.

Ergonomic Black G10 Composite Handle

The grips of the knife are crafted from a durable and resilient black G10 composite material. G10 is known for its exceptional resistance to moisture, temperature fluctuations, solvents, acids, and mechanical wear and tear. The covers in the presented model are designed with strategic cuts, also known as grooves, which not only enhance the overall aesthetics but also provide improved grip and control during handling. These covers are securely attached to the handle using hexagonal screws, ensuring a robust and stable construction. Furthermore, the handle incorporates a subtle yet effective finger guard that serves the purpose of preventing the hand from slipping forward onto the cutting edge, thereby reducing the risk of accidental injuries while maintaining a firm and secure grip.

Handmade Leather Sheath

Complementing the T9 knife is a meticulously crafted leather sheath, made from high-quality vegetable-tanned leather. The sheath showcases robust stitching using thick threads and boasts a refined finish. Its large belt loop ensures secure and convenient carrying during outdoor adventures.
