The knife has a bare bones skeleton handle, keeping the knife light weight. The handles have a ripple design to hold the wrapped paracord in place (6 ft of paracord is included). The knife feels good in the hand with the paracord.
A spear can be fashioned by splitting a stick and inserting the knife handle, then wrapping the paracord around the branch. Holding the knife in place.
The entire knife is coated with an Emralon anti-rust and corrosion coating. I can attest to the coating. I put this thing through hell without losing ANY finish on the blade.
The Xtreme Model V is a true beast in a super light weight package. Its D2 blade will withstand the test of time and you wont have to sharpen it often. The only thing I would like to see-is to offer a non-serrated blade option.
This isn't a heavy thick blade like most survival knives have today. So if that's what your looking for you may what to look at some other models. I would consider this a general purpose/hard use knife. But with its durability and simplicity can accomplish most survival task.

ReplyDeleteCan you explain how to wrap para-cord like the knife above and include a photo of the knife without the para-cord?
ReplyDeleteThanks
Andrew we can do that. Are you wanting to know this just for general knowledge or for this knife in particular? Because for a wrap like this it will need a completely skeletonized handle. But we will try to get a tutorial video out in the next week or two. Thanks.
