Proper full-tang knife with a blade measuring 3 1/2" long, straight and fairly round handle made to suit both large and small hands. The leather cord for the handle and a strong deep pocket leather sheath with matching firesteel is included. A classic wilderness knife designed by custom knife maker Roger Harrington, England. The blade is made of around 4mm thick Böhler K720 high carbon tool steel to make the blade extremely durable for heavy use such as log-splitting, or so-called "batoning" without making the knife to heavy or uncomfortable to carry. The knife has a Scandinavian grind to make it very robust at the same time easy to carve wood with and easy to sharpen on a small flat whetstone/sharpener in the forest. The knife is a really good all-round tool for field use. The firestriker steel is made in the Swedish part of Lapland using nice Bog Oak wood for the handle. A firestriker steel is an essential component of any bushcraft or survival kit and this firestriker comes with real character.
