Survival expert Chris Caine®™ first thought of making this knife in 1997, but didn't start working on the design until 2007, with the first prototype being tweaked & tested for over 2 years in the field, to ensure it would stand up to the job it was designed for. Not only have we taken our time in producing the ultimate survival tool, but to ensure it is of the highest quality, we have had it hand made by Master Sheffield knife makers, A. Wright & Son (Est 1947) and Samuel Stanforths Ltd (Est 1864).
This is 'a survival tool for the serious survivalist'.
The Special Edition Survival Tool is hand made from start to finish, from profiling out the blades, hardening & tempering, assembly, grinding, right up to the final polish are all done in house. Even the Rosewood handle scales, have been hand picked for the finest quality. This gives us a guaranteed quality control.
The blade is made from 5mm, 75 Carbon Steel with a rockwell rating of 52-54 and has a full tang. Each tool is supplied sharp enough to shave the hairs from your arm with ease, and strong enough to fell a large tree, yet at just over 750g, it's light enough to be worn on your belt.
The supplied leather sheath is also made to a high standard and fully articulated. No matter whether you are walking, running, sitting or kneeling this sheath will always hang by your side in comfort.
When chopping with this tool your fingers are kept well away from the material you are hitting, thanks to the deep curve in the cutting edge, making it harder for you to trap your fingers. Not only this but on the back of the blade we have rounded off a section so when you are hitting this tool with another cutting of wood you are less likely to damage anything, and also makes it more useful for beating materials to obtain the fibers within.
Further back along the blade the spine has been left with a crisp square edge, to allow you to scrape wood in order to obtain a very fine fibrous layer, which will easily take a spark for starting your fire.
The blade has a convex grind to allow for a more durable edge, and ease of sharpening, not only will this tool split logs for the fire, it will also allow you to shave some fire sticks with ease, making it able to go from heavy work to fine intricate work without a problem.
The handle has been designed with three main grips, meaning that power and control can be altered depending on the job in hand.
