Description

Core Blade Features Blade Material: Crafted from 14C28N stainless steel (hardness of 59 HRC), known for being corrosion-resistant and exceptionally sharp right out of the box. Geometry: Features a 4.1-inch (10.5 cm) drop-point blade with a flat grind, making it excellent for precision carving, slicing, and food preparation.90° Spine: The spine is ground to a sharp 90-degree angle, allowing it to easily scrape tinder or strike a ferro rod for fire-making. Full Tang: The steel runs through the entire length of the handle for maximum stability during heavy-duty tasks. Specialized "Pro" Functions The "Pro" version includes several features not found on the standard Venture model: Bow Drill Divot: A built-in indentation in the handle acts as a pressure piece (bearing block) for primitive friction fire-making. Protruding Tang: The exposed metal at the pommel features a 1/4-inch hex hole for driving bits or lanyards, and can be used for light hammering or crushing. Integrated Toolkit: The specialized carrying system houses Victorinox tweezers, a pressurized ballpoint pen, and a ferro rod. Carrying System & Accessories Multifunctional Sheath: The symmetrical plastic sheath includes drainage holes and is designed to double as a blow tube to oxygenate and ignite a small fire. Carrying System: Included with the Pro model, this adapter makes the sheath compatible with MOLLE and Tek-Lok systems for versatile mounting. Optional Pro Kit: An additional Venture Pro Kit is available, containing a 2 cm flat drill bit (that fits the hex hole) and two sharpening stones.
