As a robust member of the BUSHCRAFT family, this is a sturdy knife with a black, 3.2 mm thick blade. The blade is made of carbon steel that has been hardened for optimal strength, making the BUSHCRAFT Black extremely resilient under pressure. The carbon steel blade features a black DLC coating that protects against rust and also prevents reflections from the blade. However, keep in mind that carbon steel requires maintenance. So, make it a habit to wipe your knife after use and oil the blade. The spine of the blade has been ground, allowing you to use it with a fire starter – meaning critical fire is never far away. The knife sheath includes a belt loop and a clip, ensuring your knife is always within reach.
