ADVANTAGES
- READY FOR ANYTHINGWhat does the name of this knife tell us?
In it we can feel the call: "Be ready", the embers of a night fire and the wanderings of the pioneers. - GREAT COMPANION
One thing is for sure - this is definitely not a shelf knife, it will take its rightful place among your most used knives.
Especially when camping or out in nature you will notice it, every gram of weight is more than made up for by its performance. - CONTROLLED CUTJudge for yourself: The narrow, 125 mm long, deeply ground blade is perfect to handle.
This size is enough for almost any task, from cutting bread to setting up a shelter for the night.
It's clear that the designers of this model have focused on aggressive and well-controlled cutting.
- ROBUST ONE-PIECE DESIGNThe high durability of the knife is ensured by the full tang construction, i.e. the strong tang completely follows the shape of the handle.
With a cutting edge of 3.75 mm, this is a very strong safety margin. - COMFORTABLE GRIPThe handle is made of walnut root and G10. In both versions it looks very nice, and the main thing is that it fits well in the hand.
Despite the small size, or maybe because of it, the hand does not get tired at all, even during long work. - GENUINE LEATHER SHEATHThe leather-dipped scabbard with free suspension, already a Supreme tradition, leaves no questions unanswered - comfortable, reliable and beautiful.
So you can confidently say about Pioneer - "Always ready".
