Lars Fält is Sweden’s outdoors legend. He has trained Swedish and British military units in winter survival and is also the author of many outdoor books as well as the designer of this knife. Due to its Scandinavian design and the Scandi grind, it is a robust, all-purpose outdoor knife. The blade is made of Uddeholm Sleipner steel*, a tough steel with an excellent edge retention. Handle scales made of Nordic masur birch. This robust type of wood has a very interesting look due to the contrast between the light-coloured heartwood and dramatic dark-coloured veins radiating through the wood. Black liner material between handle scales and tang. Comes in a sturdy leather sheath with belt loop and a leather strap for the thong hole. Not rustproof, hardened to 59 HRC. * Steel analysis: C = 0.9 / Si = 0.9 / Mn = 0.5 / Cr = 7.8 / Mo = 2.5 / V = 0.5 (in %)
