ADVANTAGES
- DURALUMIN HANDLE WITH AN EMERGENCY CAPSULEThe hollow handle is machined from durable duralumin, an aluminium-copper alloy widely used where low weight and strength must work together. Inside is a sealed compartment for a compact emergency kit with matches, sewing and fishing essentials, wire, a safety pin, small surgical blades and first-aid items.
- A SECURE, TESTED ASSEMBLYThe blade tang is secured inside the handle at two connection points. We developed and tested this construction for reliable outdoor use, while the deeply textured metal surface provides clear orientation and a confident grip in changing conditions.
- THE X BLADE CONFIGURATIONThe 185 mm blade uses substantial 5 mm stock and a strong working grind. Compared with the serrated Survivalist Z, the X version provides a longer uninterrupted plain edge and omits the fuller. Its weight supports efficient chopping, while the long edge remains useful for food preparation, camp construction and general utility work.
- STONEWASH OR TACWASHStoneWash gives the blade a practical low-maintenance surface that helps normal marks blend into the finish. Our multi-stage TacWash treatment creates a darker, low-glare appearance and further disguises signs of regular field use. Exact finish depends on the production version.
- AUS-8 OR D2 STEELAUS-8 provides a balanced combination of toughness, corrosion resistance and straightforward field sharpening. D2 offers higher wear resistance and prolonged edge retention, with slightly greater attention required for corrosion care. Availability varies by production run and market.
- A MODULAR, SECURE FIELD SHEATHCurrent sheaths combine a durable ballistic-nylon outer body with an edge-caring polypropylene insert. The platform supports MOLLE-style gear attachment and several belt-carry options, while optional pouches can hold a larger emergency kit, multitool, folder or sharpener. Its retention and stabilising straps help keep the setup controlled during active movement.
